| Summary |
Born of a contemporary moral crisis. First, the reigning model of economic globalization threatens Earth's life systems, cultural integrity and diversity, and the lives of many who are poor in order that some might consume exorbitantly and a few accumulate vast wealth. This way of life is a threat to life itself. Second, as a society, we acquiesce to the prevailing form of globalization. We comply with its demands and accede to to its truths, as if indeed, "There is No Alternative." We fail to consider seriously the long-term social and ecological implications of economic globalization, resist it, and forge alternatives. This dearth of moral agency--and its reawakening--is the concern of this undertaking. [Introduction]. |
