| Annotation | Presents three scenarios: “Market World: A New Golden Age of Prosperity? (26-36); “Fortress World: Instability and Violence?” (37-46); and “Transformed World: Changing the Human Endeavor?” (47-61). The first two, “the single-minded pursuit of prosperity” and “the descent into chaos and cruelty” (47) are clearly dystopian. The third depicts “a society that seeks not just wealth but also human welfare, not just security but also fairness. A society that is a steward, not an exploiter, of Earth” (47). |
