The first part of this book is devoted to showing that the theoretical constructions that...

5) The power of social innovation: how civic entrepreneurs ignite community networks for good

According to the author, the Great Disruption started in 2008, with spiking food and oil prices and dramatic ecological changes, such as the melting ice caps. It is not simply about fossil fuels and carbon footprints. The author claims we have come to the end of Economic Growth, Version 1.0, a world economy based on consumption and waste, where we lived beyond the means of our planet's ecosystems and resources. He sees the predicted crisis as a rare...

8) Organic agriculture for sustainable livelihoods

Perpetual economic growth has ""worked"" for human civilization for centuries, but we've finally hit the wall, economically, socially, and environmentally. Advocates for growth can't deny one thing--the resources of the planet are finite, and running out fast, causing poverty, financial meltdowns, and wealth inequality. The authors show that cultivating a culture of ""enough"" can turn things around, and actually make us richer and happier.

"Technology underpins human development. We need it to provide the very basics of a minimum standard of life -- food, water, shelter, health and education. But a significant proportion of the world's population do not have these basics today. And whilst a fifth of the world's population lacks access to technologies fundamental to a basic standard of living, unfettered use of technology by those who have it brings its own problems -- including pollution,...

What began as a grassroots movement to promote responsible development has become a bullet point in corporate ecobranding strategies. In Hijacking Sustainability, Adrian Parr describes how this has happened: how the goals of an environmental movement came to be mediated by corporate interests, government, and the military. Parr argues that the more...
