The international ecologist-philosopher-politician, Rudolf Bahro examines the headlong, mindless path into the abyss that culture is taking, through bankrupt economic, political and philosophical attitudes and policies, and its historical roots. This work analyzes the extent of the developed world's commitment to consumption economics, and how radical but necessary changes in the world can come about. The author maps the route by which a new civilization may be built, from the bottom up, by the users of it - people. Bahro's ideas cover social, historical, political, environmental and spiritual dimensions. This book is a study version, translated directly as it was in German, for libraries, study groups and those more deeply involved in Green and German political issues. It is also available in an abridged version.
