Paradigms in Progress Life Beyond Economics

Powerful and irreversible globalizing forces are at work. Out of the turbulence and momentum are emerging new sets of personal, institutional and global standards pointing the way toward a more workable human ecology. For this evolutionary process we need new directions and expanded contexts for creating a "win-win" world and new scorecards for measuring a saner, more equitable, gender-balanced, ecologically-conscious future. Hazel Henderson, economist and human ecologist, reveals out vast potentials and possibilities.

Hazel Henderson is an independent futurist, syndicated columnist, and consultant on sustainable development in over thirty countries.
