Der Wandel ist machbar

Manifesto for a new America

America’s star is fading. Economic inequality, unleashed entrepreneurship, the highest carbon dioxide emissions in the world – the problems of capitalist societies in a globalized world are concentrated in the USA like in no other country. To solve them, a new political-economic system is needed that breaks with the ideology of limitless economic growth and the rule of those who profit from it. But how must the market, businesses, the financial sector and communities be restructured to create a truly democratic, socially just and environmentally sustainable America? What course must President Obama set? James G. Speth, the “legend of the environmental movement”, provides courageous answers to these questions, which can also serve as a valuable source of inspiration for Europe.
