The Sustainable Development Paradox - Parts 1 and 2

[Luis Gutierrez]

SSNV subscribers .... the February 2009 issue is online.

The January 2009 and February 2009 issues are parts 1 and 2 of a planned 3 part series on the "sustainable development paradox" ....
   
    Link to Part 1 - SSNV E-Journal, Vol. 5, No. 1, January 2009
    Link to Part 2 - SSNV E-Journal, Vol. 5, No. 2, February 2009

Part 1 shows that it is not possible to make the social, economic, political, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development work together unless homo economicus becomes homo solidarius.

Part 2 shows that the transition from homo economicus to homo solidarius will take time but is feasible as it does not require further evolutionary development of homo sapiens sapiens.

Part 3 will explore human nature -- the psychosomatic-spiritual nature of homo sapiens sapiens -- to discern how the required growth in human solidarity might be accomplished.

Feedback is deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,
Luis
