Abstract

The perspectives developed in this book culminate in a fundamental insight. The ecological, social, and economic crises of our time cannot be addressed with the same patterns of thought and action that created them. What is needed is a profound transformation, a paradigm shift that affects not only our self-understanding but also the way we conduct business, make decisions, and assume responsibility. The notion that nature is merely a resource or an external accessory to economic processes is not only outdated but dangerous. If we truly recognize nature as the foundation of our prosperity, then we must fundamentally question our concepts of capital, growth, and value.
