Beyond Globalization: Shaping a Sustainable Global Economy / Edition 1

by Hazel Henderson

Overview

Hazel Henderson offers a critique of globalization, which is creating a bubble economy at the cost of real, more local enterprises and livelihoods. She argues for the use of systems thinking and a more holistic approach as a way of breaking out of the narrow prism of GDP and market pricing that dominates conventional economic thinking. She sets out a panoramic vision of the changes required to reshape the global economy towards social justice and sustainability at every level from the global to the local and personal.

This book was commissioned by the New Economics Foundation to launch their ambitious new program, Reshaping the Global Economy, and has been researched in association with Focus on the Global South.
