Details: Is the economy compatible with ecology? That is, are development and well-being compatible with the preservation of natural resources? If we look back, the answer is no. During the 1980s, poverty and suffering increased throughout the world, with the threat of an ecological disaster increasingly emerging. Our economic model is systematically harmful to both man and the earth. The need for a new model that knows how to go beyond the mere 'ecological' needs, at the point we have reached, is becoming increasingly urgent. The author of this book underlines the need for a further step, a real revolution: we need a new economic order for the 21st century, adapted to the real needs of people and the planet. 'Activating' people, ie giving them real power to control the economy, and 'conserving' the Earth's resources will be the new key concepts. According to James Robertson we must convince ourselves that, as far as the fundamental spring of the economy is concerned, human beings are capable of finding something better than the greedy struggle between individuals and between nations. We must replace waste and pollution with conservation; reform the monetary system; freeing from the tax burden everything that men offer to society, to impose it on what is withheld from society.
