Title: Building a Win-Win World: Life Beyond Global Economic Warfare

Other Available Formats:
Paperback, 1997

Synopsis
One of America's most prominent alternative economic thinkers here offers her challengers basic assumptions about traditional economic development--free-market, capitalistic "economism"--and proposes a different view, one which, she argues, is far more sustainable and just. BUILDING A WIN-WIN WORLD shows that grassroots organizations are embodying viable alternatives, and that innovation may not be as arduous or as taxing as we've been led to believe.

Publisher Notes
World-renowned futurist Hazel Henderson extends her twenty-five years of work in economics to examine the havoc the current economic system is creating at the global level. Markets are now spreading worldwide - a spread which is often equated with the hope of democracy spreading along with it. But markets still run on old textbook models that ignore social and environmental costs - leading to a new kind of warfare: global economic warfare. Building a Win-Win World demonstrates how the global economy is unsustainable because of its negative effects on employees, families, communities, and the ecosystem. Henderson shows how win-win strategies can become the norm at every level when people see the true current and future costs of short-sighted, narrow economic policies.
