[edit] ILLUSION OF PROGRESS
In this work the author argues that for all the rhetoric of socially and environmentally sustainable development, the real issues - consumption, population growth and equity - are being sidestepped or manipulated in international policy.
A wide-ranging, penetrating and persuasive critique of what 'sustainable development' actually amounts to. The author argues that for all the rhetoric of socially and environmentally sustainable development, the real issues - consumption, population growth and equity - are being sidestepped or manipulated in international policy and law. The crucial questions are not even asked. Analysing the main areas of concern - economic growth, market structure, trade, aid, debt, security and sovreignty - he shows that the entire development structure and the underpinnings of the debate arc taking the world down quite a different path - the very path that commitment to sustainability was meant to reverse. The (green) wool is being pulled over the eyes of the public
