Description
In the coming decades, environmental risks such as global warming, the worsening ozone "hole," large-scale migrations, and wars over critical resources will deeply affect a world society in which more than 10 billion people will try to make a living. These problems cannot be tackled without far-reaching transformations of contemporary economic institutions. This volume offers a careful investigation of the processes that have led to global environmental change. It is based on a new and original analysis of economic mechanisms as the result of complex processes of cultural evolution. This analysis enables the author to develop both a short-term strategy and a long-term perspective for managing the global environmental crisis. Demonstrating how and why world economic and environmental policies are dangerously out of synch with each other, Jaeger arrives at an understanding of human reality that stresses the importance of interpersonal relations both in private life and within the world economic system itself.
