Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Great Narrative addresses the first two questions: What future do we want. and What must we do to get there. The pandemic was one such thing that forced us to address these questions. #2 History shows that pandemics are typically a shock that divides and traumatizes. They can also be a force for lasting and often radical change. Today’s world is being shaped by the narratives that evolve to inform and construct the way forward. #3 Interdependence is the by-product of technological progress and globalization. It is defined by the fact that we live today on the brink of major consequential changes that are not independent from each other but are taking place simultaneously with their risks concatenated, reinforcing one another through cascading and contagion effects. #4 Truths, misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracies have always existed, but today they are served and spread by social media. The manner in which social media now structure our communication between individuals can affect the reliability of our beliefs.
Economics and Climate Emergency
This book explores a series of connected themes focused on the role economics and other influential forms of theory and thinking have played in creating the current predicament and the scope for alternatives and how they might be framed. Thirty years have passed since the inception of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the beginning of policy on climate change. Thirty wasted years. To most politicians, long-term collective interest has been denominated in meaningless units of time, a never and forever that has continually delayed action. From complacency has come potential disaster, and we are now living in a time of climate emergency and ecological breakdown. The next decade is a pivotal period requiring fundamental change. But numerous impediments remain. Continual material, energy and economic growth on a planetary scale are manifestly impossible, and yet economic theory takes these as a given and political leadership and policy seem unwilling to accept brute reality. Instead, they offer a series of implausible commitments and pledges rooted in technofixes, without addressing the fundamental drivers of the problems the world faces. The edited volume explores the issues and offers a variety of ways to think through the problems at hand, from postgrowth, degrowth and social ecological economics to policy assemblage and transversalism. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Globalizations.
Seven Miracles That Saved America
"When the odds were stacked against us, and there have been many times when the great experiment we call America could have and should have failed, did God intervene to save us?"That question, posed by authors Chris and Ted Stewart, is the foundation for this remarkable book. And the examples they cite provide compelling evidence that the hand of Providence has indeed preserved the United States of America on multiple occasions. Skillfully weaving story vignettes with historical explanations, they examine seven instances that illustrate God's protecting care. Never, at any of these critical junctures, was a positive outcome certain or even likely. Yet America prevailed. Why?"No man is perfect," write the authors. "And neither is any nation. Yet, despite our weakness, we are still, as Abraham Lincoln said, the best nation ever given to man. Despite our faults, this nation is still the last, best hope of earth." In short, God still cares what happens here. This reassuring message is a bright light in a world that longs for such hope.
