Drawing on works by Roy Morrison, Murray Bookchin, Daniel C. Maguire, Paul Taylor, C. A. Bowers, and others, Bednar critiques the ideological status quo, offering an alternative ecological economics, political economy, ethics, and pedagogy. This new outlook on humankind's relationship to the environment is, he argues, better positioned to address critical issues of the twenty-first century, including the ecological and social limits of economic growth, the social and economic requisites for authentic democracy, the ethics of human interaction with the natural environment, and the educational curricula and practices required to promote ecological literacy. Bednar's perspective provides the opportunity to develop economic and political institutions that permit a sustainable relationship with the environment and offers a socially richer and more fulfilling life for the individual than the "American Dream" promised by the current system.Green movementUnited StatesEnvironmental ethicsUnited StatesEnvironmental economicsUnited StatesGreen movementEnvironmental ethicsEnvironmental economics363.7/0973Bednar Charles1648502MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825675803321Transforming the dream3996688UNINA
