Synopsis

Challenging the current dogma of maximum economic growth, globalisation and international competitiveness, well-known futurist Robert Theobald argues persuasively that, to survive, we must overhaul our whole concept of 'success'. The required criteria of success for the next phase of human social evolution are ecological integrity and a respect for all of nature, effective participatory decision-making, and social cohesion based on profoundly changed concepts of justice. These radically changed goals force us to radically reconstruct our communities. This book documents the steady slide of 'successes' into failures that characterise the latter part of this century, and then describes the new role that citizens are adopting in helping to create new kinds of success today and in the future.
