The Vulnerable Planet has won respect as the best single-volume
introduction to the global economic crisis.
With impressive historical and economic detail, ranging from the
Industrial Revolution to modern imperialism, The Vulnerable Planet
explores the reasons why a global economic system geared toward
private profit has spelled vulnerability for the earth's fragile
natural environment.
Rejecting both individualistic solutions and policies that
tinker at the margins, John Bellamy Foster calls for a fundamental
reorganization of production on a social basis so as to make
possible a sustainable and ecological economy.
This revised edition includes a new afterword by the author.
