Publisher's Synopsis
Mankind is speeding with growing alarm towards some kind of cataclysmic end unless the species made a concerted effort to slow down. The question, though, was how to impose a slowdown when there were so many powers like economists, scientists and politicians, pressing for more growth, more spending, more consumption, more production, more everything. Somebody was going to have to slow this all down and say: "Not more, but less. Not excess, but sufficiency." The Green Movement and various forms of environmentalism have tried to convince the world to change its priorities--but they have failed. They did not possess the moral authority to enforce a policy of sufficiency. In this book a solution is proposed that will astound you with its foresight and practicality. A new consciousness about our wasteful ways and how to resolve them can and will be created. And at the heart of it, the Christian system of ethics and a Christian system of organisation.
