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. 606 $aGreen movement$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmental ethics$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmental economics$zUnited States 615 0$aGreen movement 615 0$aEnvironmental ethics 615 0$aEnvironmental economics 676 $a363.7/0973 700 $aBednar$b Charles$01648502 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825675803321 996 $aTransforming the dream$93996688 997 $aUNINA
