Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All - Hardcover
by Jeremy Lent (Author)
"One of the greatest thinkers of our age" (The Guardian) presents a new way of living--one modeled on nature's design instead of capitalism's--for fans of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Doughnut Economics
It has often been said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism--and yet that is what the historical moment urgently calls for. As climate chaos, inequality, and social fragmentation intensify, humanity faces an imminent choice: continue with a system built on extraction and endless growth, or reimagine civilization itself. Incremental policy improvements are no longer enough--we need a deep transformation of our current civilization to continue to survive. In Ecocivilization, leading thinker Jeremy Lent offers that reimagination, grounded in proven design principles of ecosystems and in humankind's evolved inclination toward justice, mutuality, and dignity. What unfolds is a robust framework incorporating Lent's own expertise, and the lived experiences of those on the ground already putting ecological civilization's core tenets into practice--justice, mutuality, diversity, and symbiosis. From the global economy to universal housing and income, from infrastructure to agriculture, every major aspect of our society could be redesigned to work together as a coherent whole, setting the conditions for all people to flourish. Ecocivilization shows how this future on a regenerated Earth is not only desirable, but entirely feasible.Author Biography
