The essays collected in World in Motion all address the same issue:
The global paradox that modern prosperity has entailed extreme
environmental degradation. Gary M. Kroll and Richard H. Robbins
present readings covering all principal viewpoints on this matter,
from the neoliberal belief that environmental and social problems
can be fixed through a growing economy to the critics of
globalization who equate growth with environmental degradation.
This book asks an important question: Can we simply accelerate
growth under the assumption that increased prosperity and new
technologies will allow us to reverse environmental damage? Or do
we need to transform our modes of living radically to maintain the
health of the world around us?
