The path to a sustainable civilisationtechnological, socioeconomic and political change /[electronic resource] :by Mark Diesendorf, Rod Taylor. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2023. - xxi, 251 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- The sustainability crisis -- An ecologically sustainable, socially just civilisation -- Transitioning the energy system -- Transitioning natural resources -- Cutting the bonds of state capture -- Transforming the economic system -- Community action for social change -- Conclusion.

The Path to a Sustainable Civilisation shows that we have unwittingly fallen into an existential crisis of our own making. We have allowed large corporations, the military and other vested interests to capture governments and influence public opinion excessively. We have created a god called 'the market' and allowed our most important decisions to be made by this imaginary entity, which is in fact a human system controlled by vested interests. The result has been the exploitation of our life support system, our planet, and most of its inhabitants, to the point of collapse. This book argues that the way out of our black hole is to build social movements to apply overwhelming pressure on government and big business, weaken the power of vested interests and strengthen democratic decision-making. This must be done simultaneously with action on the specific issues of climate, energy, natural resources and social justice, in order to transition to a truly sustainable civilisation.
