DESIGNING THE GREEN ECONOMY, by Brian Milani, explores realistically, and in detail, the world's enormous potential for human and ecological regeneration. It also explains why this potential has been suppressed or distorted by industrial institutions, thus creating economic crisis, growing inequality, and environmental destruction.
The first half of the book looks at the challenge ecological change has represented to capitalism, as well as capitalism's repressive response: the waste economy, as expressed in postwar Fordist capitalism and current trends toward a globalized economy. And the second half explores the practical and theoretical implications of fully unleashing these new productive forces to create community-based ecological economies.
