An Alternative Future with Hazel Henderson

Program Description

In this radical, visionary look at our possibilities for a sustainable future, Hazel Henderson discusses the “globalization” of human affairs, and proposes new ways of evaluating and improving a city or nation’s quality of life. “We need an alternative,” she explains, “to such indicators as the GNP, which values war weapons but not environmental or human resources, an alternative to violence as a solution to political problems, and “a new game where the most ethical companies and the most socially responsible people and governments get a chance to win.”

Henderson is the author of Creating Alternative Futures (Putnam 1978) and The Politics of the Solar Age (Knowledge Systems 1988), and associate editor of World Paper.
