Today's Future

About the Book

Today’s Future details problems that society currently faces—from political corruption, global climate change, resource conflicts, corporate fraud and the AIDS virus, to the challenges of building a sustainable economy and a just society. It investigates the connections between political corruption and the unsustainable extraction and decimation by corporations of valuable global resources (forests, water, rangelands and fisheries and more) through the new world order of globalization. Today’s Future acknowledges that future generations will have to endure a great deal of problems, but draws hope from the conviction that society can take immediate action to mitigate the repercussions through self-education and by working through the international community.
