ESCAPE into Ecological ALTRUISM!!

Makes very good sense.

Less materialistic than growth based prosperity!

More ROBUST and realistic vision.

To achieve this we NEED political LEADERSHIP.

He talks of sustainable development, caring for the poor and reversing the ecological damage. His views go against the general understanding of development and exploiting the earth's resources for consumption and profit taking. Very interesting.
