Description

In this age of uncertainty, there is the need for ideas that transcend the limitations of party political, or left/right thinking, in resolving the unprecedented problems of our time.

Technological Civilisation is here presented as a focal point for a fresh perspective of both national and international issues.

The tensions between America and China indicate the possibility of a new Cold War, and this would be disastrous for the planet in diverting attention away from the cooperation needed in attending to climate change and other threats to the environment.

In the countries of the West, democracy as we know it is beginning to disintegrate.

This is made evident through the collapse of voting figures and party memberships, as well as a spirit of disillusion.

There are some topics which politicians are loathed to address, and in the sphere of the approaching environmental crisis, the population explosion is the most prominent.

Leading scientists have clearly demonstrated, that even if all efforts are put towards reversing climate change through maximising renewable energy sources, unless population control is achieved on a sufficient level, all will be in vain.

The population question is probably pushed ahead to a greater degree in this book than will be found elsewhere as a topic for public debate.

In concentrating on Technological Civilisation, it is possible to discern the inter-connection of problems, and this leads to constructive proposals for the regeneration of democracy, the reform of the financial-industrial system, and the emergence of an upwardly mobile and free egalitarian society.
