Transforming the Dream challenges American mainstream culture's
obsession with unlimited economic and industrial growth. Drawing on
works by Roy Morrison, Murray Bookchin, Daniel C. Maguire, Paul
Taylor, C. A. Bowers, and others, Bednar critiques the ideological
status quo, offering an alternative ecological economics, political
economy, ethics, and pedagogy. This new outlook on humankind's
relationship to the environment is, he argues, better positioned to
address critical issues of the twenty-first century, including the
ecological and social limits of economic growth, the social and
economic requisites for authentic democracy, the ethics of human
interaction with the natural environment, and the educational
curricula and practices required to promote ecological literacy.
Bednar's perspective provides the opportunity to develop economic
and political institutions that permit a sustainable relationship
with the environment and offers a socially richer and more
fulfilling life for the individual than the "American Dream"
promised by the current system.
