The Alphabet of Our Time: Answers to the Crisis

From suspicion to Zen, from market to Marx, from China to globalization and income inequality to xenophobia, from banks to bonuses to bonobos... With a well-chosen alphabet, John Vandaele tells the story of our time. He sheds light on the causes of the crisis and looks for answers. How can you reconcile global markets and democracy? Do we need to incur even more debt to continue growing? Do we need to save more or consume more? Are the markets driving us into the ecological abyss? How do we satisfy the world's hunger for global public goods? One thing is clear: different times are coming. How different, is less clear. It can go in different directions. Are we heading for (even) more chaos and tensions, or for a new, more sustainable and social model of society? http://www.houtekiet.com/boeken/p/detail/het-alfabet-van-onze-tijd
