ETHICS, ECOLOGY, DEVELOPMENTAbstract
What will it take for humanity to achieve both economic equity amongst ourselves and harmony between ourselves and the rest of the living Earth? The answer depends how we understand the world's political, economic and social system, and what we face by way of ecological constraints. Only with this knowledge can we gauge our options and the ethical challenges we face in the 21st century.
