The World Made Otherwise: Sustaining Humanity in a Threatened WorldMany natural scientists believe climate change will bring civilizational collapse. Tim Gorringe argues that behind this threat is a commitment to false values, embodied in our political, economic, and farming systems. At the same time, millions of people the world over—perhaps the majority—are committed to alternative values and practices. This book explores how these values, already foreshadowed in people’s movements all over the world, can produce different political and economic realities which can underwrite a safe and prosperous future for all. |
