Here is one measure of the problem: if we continue to do exactly what we are doing, with no growth in the human population or the world economy, the world in the latter part of this century will be unfit to live in. Of course human activities are not holding at current levels-they are accelerating, dramatically-and so, too, is the pace of climate disruption, biotic impoverishment, and toxification. In this book Gus Speth, author of Red Sky at Morning and a widely respected environmentalist, begins with the observation that the environmental community has grown in strength and sophistication, but the environment has continued to decline, to the point that we are now at the edge of catastrophe. Speth contends that this situation is a severe indictment of the economic and political system we call modern capitalism. Our vital task is now to change the operating instructions for today's destructive world economy before it is too late. The book is about how to do that. 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aCapitalism$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aEnvironmental policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aCapitalism$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 676 $a333.7 700 $aSpeth$b James Gustave$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0896783 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455341503321 996 $aThe Bridge at the Edge of the World$92485021 997 $aUNINA
