Hazel Henderson - The Politics of the Solar Age (1981)

Abstract

We are now at a critical moment in history. The stresses now occurring globally are largely due to limited perspectives, ancient ideologies, and defunct economic models. Yet, 2015 can be the year when the great transitions envisioned and promoted by forward-looking individuals and groups in many places around the world can be truly launched in academia, public, private, and civic sectors worldwide. These transitions show that stress is evolution’s tool and that breakdowns do drive breakthroughs! This article reviews the progress achieved to date and outlines the reasons for optimism that humanity is on the brink of achieving the long-wished-for goal of universal, equitable, and sustainable prosperity.
