Synopsis

Based on a new and original analysis of economic mechanisms as the result of complexities of cultural evolution, this book offers a careful investigation of the processes that have resulted in global environmental change. The author develops both a short-term strategy and a long-term perspective for managing this crisis. Demonstrating how and why world economic and environmental policies are dangerously out of synch with each other, Jaeger arrives at an understanding of human reality that stresses the importance of interpersonal relations, both in private life and within the world economic system itself.
