Book News Annotation:

Brown (environment, McGill U.) and Garver, a Montreal-based law consultant and lecturer, offer people from all walks of life an ethical guidance system based on right relation in order to address the conflict between how people provide for themselves and the integrity of Earth's ecological and social systems. They meld scientific understanding, an ethical stance, and spiritual optimism to discuss such matters as a flourishing commonwealth of life, boundaries on consumption and waste, sharing, and new ways to play fair.

Synopsis:

Our current economic system is unsustainable. Its fundamental elementsunlimited growth and endless wealth accumulationfly in the face of the fact that the Earths resources are clearly finite. The destructive effects of this denial of reality are wreaking havoc on our ecological and social systems. But what is the alternative? We need to go beyond simply fixing problems as they arise, or even as we anticipate them, and offer a comprehensive new economic model. It is a moral imperative.
