The First Global Revolution

This book is a follow-up to Limits to Growth, 20 years later. The authors pose the question, Is our planet better off, worse or just different than it was 20 years ago The answer is all three. They lay out the problem not only in terms of human technological assaults or life-support systems but also humans against humans. The solutions proposed are far reaching and controversial, including conversion from military to civil economy, reversing the earth-warming, and attacking the disparities between rich and poor. A conclusion is also drawn about today's obsolete and inappropriate governmental structures.
