On the one hand, we have never been so well off; on the other hand, we find destruction and crisis everywhere we look. Whether throughout the environment or within society, our systems are under stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Maja Gopel, co-founder of the Scientists for Future initiative and secretary-general of the German Advisory Council on Global Change, explains that this new reality didn't just happen overnight, but rather is a result of our continuous actions - actions propelled by principles and beliefs, which have shaped us as a society over generations. We do not solely face an environmental crisis, but also a social one. It's time to question our principles, set new goals, and re-evaluate our priorities. It's time to rethink our world, because if we want to keep our livelihoods, we need to find a way of living without draining our planet any further. We need a fair distribution of wealth and a way to reconcile the social with the ecological.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritical, yet full of encouragement, Maja Gopel chooses surprising and enlightening examples to illustrate how we can leave behind our familiar ways of living to achieve a better future. With that, she invites us to look at this future we are shaping every day in a new and completely different way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'After so much fake information born of post-factual hoaxes, this level-headedly argued book by economist Maja Gopel for a reform of our economic system is an insanely soothing read ... Maja Gopel's pleasantly unagitated written book helps to understand this new reality.'\n\u003cbr\u003e-Denis Scheck, ARD broadcasting service\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Maja Gopel's book is a successful attempt to pack human history from the evolution of Homo Sapiens to Greta Thunberg, economic theory from Adam Smith to Thomas Piketty, environmental research and system criticism into a concise space in an entertaining read - and she does it well.'\n\u003cbr\u003e-Jessica von Blazekovic, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Her findings are precise, her book comes at the right time - a time when the consequences of climate change are just as unmistakable as the half-heartedness of politics. It is a forcefully presented plea for future-oriented thinking, \"an invitation\" that one wishes many would accept.'\n\u003cbr\u003e-Ralph Gerstenberg, Deutschlandfunk Kultur\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Shaw","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43746977054963,"sku":"9781925322613","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781925322613.jpg?v=1682378264","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/rethinking-our-world-david-shaw-9781925322613","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
