Description

"This ethical analysis of the forces at work in the world economy argues that the present global market encourages greed and arrogance, destroying communities and damaging the planet. The obsession with making money has obscured real values, creating a modern version of the Midas story." "Justice in its broadest sense - fair shares for all - is eloquently held up as the prime virtue of human communities. Professor Gorringe suggests practical ways of bringing about an ethical transformation to replace the spiralling profit-driven system with a steady state economy that meets human needs and encompasses the well-being of other species and the environment."--BOOK JACKET.
