ABSTRACT

In my view, we are currently in a period of great transformation on our planet. In the next 50 years the human race will suffer either significant destruction through environmental or social collapse based on greed, or it will learn to return to its spiritual roots, recognize its connectedness and see the development paths of the late 20th century as the madness which they are. A move towards sustainable development requires the transformation which has already started. It is not enough to rely on technological advances, changes in management practices and education alone. Much of the damage done is linked directly to individual human greed, and this is what we now need to challenge.
