WE HAVE A CHOICE: BREAKDOWN OR BREAKTHROUGH
Renowned author and systems philosopher Ervin Laszlo provides a concise yet encompassing overview of the present world situation, showing where we are, and how we got here.

This is the Chaos Point, but this need not be the end of the world, only the end of a phase from which a new world could dawn. In today's 'decision-window' we have a unique chance of creating that new world. This pioneering new book telis us what each of us can do to... Tovább
