Much has been written concerning the negative impacts of economic development on natural ecosystems and civil societies. Unfortunately, few viable alternatives to the prevailing economic paradigms have been suggested for consideration. Those that have been are typically little more than suggestions for fine tuning capitalist or socialist economies. In his new book, John Ikerd addresses the basic principles and concepts essential to economic sustainability. Some of these concepts are capitalist, some are socialistic, and others are general principles validated by philosophy or common sense. What results is a synthesis: something that is neither capitalist nor socialist but fundamentally different; it is sustainable. A special emphasis is placed on the essential, but limited, role of markets in economic sustainability, including the constraints that must be placed on markets to protect nature and society from economic exploitation. Readers of any political and ideological persuasion will find this brief book engaging, informative, optimistic and refreshing. Instead of threats and apocalyptic pronouncements, Ikerd offers possibilities and assurance. Instead of epithets hurled at opponents, Ikerd offers possibilities for reconciliation and a renewed sense of the need to work cooperatively to find solutions to the most urgent problems of our era. 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a338.9/27 700 $aIkerd$b John E$01030032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462038103321 996 $aThe essentials of economic sustainability$92446741 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03611nam 2200601 450 001 9910807119303321 005 20230807212157.0 010 $a965-524-182-3 035 $a(CKB)3710000000305339 035 $a(EBL)1866808 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001381472 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12620273 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001381472 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11437862 035 $a(PQKB)10424093 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1866808 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1866808 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10990854 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL670679 035 $a(OCoLC)897070176 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000305339 100 $a20141211h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Jewish woman next door $erepairing the world one step at a time /$fDebby Flancbaum ; foreword by Louis Flancbaum ; cover art, Arlene Sokolow ; cover design by Shanie Cooper 210 1$aJerusalem, Israel :$cUrim Publications,$d2015. 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (137 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a965-7108-95-0 311 $a965-524-183-1 311 $a1-322-39397-4 327 $aTitle Page; Half Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Foreword by Louis Flancbaum, M.D.; Introduction; Chapter 1.

In profiling women such as Ruth Gruber, who helped hundreds of Jewish refugees escape from war-torn Europe, or Wendy Kay, who regularly invites teenagers to her home for Shabbat, The Jewish Woman Next Door provides contemporary role models that readers will admire and be able to emulate. 606 $aJewish women$xReligious life$zUnited States 615 0$aJewish women$xReligious life 676 $a296.0820973 700 $aFlancbaum$b Deborah$01674972 702 $aFlancbaum$b Louis 702 $aSokolow$b Arlene 702 $aCooper$b Shanie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807119303321 996 $aThe Jewish woman next door$94040127 997 $aUNINA
