Justice and the Earth: Images for Our Planetary Survival

Front Cover
University of Illinois Press, 1995 - 203 pages
An eloquent case against accepted notions of private property and free markets is at the heart of this finely argued plea for basic changes in the ways humans view the Earth. Justice and the Earth urges people to envision an integrated tapestry of natural systems for which they are responsible, rather than an economic resource they own.
