Paradigms in Progress [Paperback]

Hazel Henderson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1995

Powerful and irreversible globalizing forces are at work. Out of the turbulence and momentum are emerging new sets of personal, institutional and global standards pointing the way toward a more workable human ecology. For this evolutionary process we need new directions and expanded contexts for creating a "win-win" world and new scorecards for measuring a saner, more equitable, gender-balanced, ecologically-conscious future. Hazel Henderson, economist and human ecologist, reveals out vast potentials and possibilities.

Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American

Hazel Henderson has the unique gift of pointing directly to the roots of our complex economic, technological, and social problems. Like a Zen master, she often expresses her radical critique in terse, provocative, and yet disarming aphorisms. Her pioneering thoughts have influenced countless scholars, politicians, and business leaders."

From The New Yorker

As we fret and worry about the growing inequity and fragility of the crisis-torn global economy, count on Hazel Henderson to shine a penetrating light on the concept of progress...illuminating vital facets of life that mainstream economists too often obscure or ignore.
