Its author, distinguished political scientist Victor Wallis, argues that sound ecological policy requires a socialist framework, based on democratic participation and drawing on the historical lessons of earlier efforts. Wallis presents a relentless critique of the capitalist system that has put the human species into a race against time to salvage and restore what it can of the environmental conditions necessary for a healthy existence. He then looks to how we might turn things around, reconsidering the institutions, technologies, and social relationships that will determine our shared future, and discussing how a better framework can evolve through the convergence of popular struggles, as these have emerged under conditions of crisis. This is an important book, both for its incisive account of how we got into the mess in which we find ourselves, and for its bold vision of how we might still go forward."--Publisher's description 650 0 $a Environmental economics. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Socialism $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Environmental policy. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804012226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A27CC760B8CA11EDAC6855BD37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
