In a sophisticated and far-reaching blend of theory and reflection,
Thinking the Twenty-First Century takes a provocative look at the
changes required to build a new global political economy. McIntosh
charts five system changes essential to this transition: globality
and Earth awareness; the rebalancing of science and awe;
peacefulness and the feminization of decision-making; the
re-organization of our institutions; and, evolution, adaptation and
learning. That they are all connected should be obvious, but that
they are written about together is less common.McIntosh argues that
these five changes are already under way and need to be
accelerated. Combining science, philosophy, politics and economics,
Thinking the Twenty-First Century questions our current model of
capitalism and calls for a much-needed new order. This forceful
call to action advocates a balanced political economy with
trandisciplinarity, connectivity, accountability and transparency
at its centre, as an alternative to a world built on the failing
system of neoliberal economics.From one of the pioneers of the
global corporate sustainability and social responsibility movement,
this unique book combines analysis, diary and reflection to present
a radical way forward for the twenty-first century.
