Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability, and Peace

Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability, and Peace

World-renowned environmental activist and physicist Vandana Shiva calls for a radical shift in the values that govern democracies, condemning the role that unrestricted capitalism has played in the destruction of environments and livelihoods.Â She explores the issues she helped bring to international attentionâ€”genetic food engineering, culture theft, and natural resource privatizationâ€”uncovering their links to the rising tide of fundamentalism, violence against women, and planetary death. Struggles on the streets of Seattle and Cancun and in homes and farms across the world have yielded a set of principles based on inclusion, nonviolence, reclaiming the commons, and freely sharing the earthâ€™s resources. These ideals, which Dr. Shiva calls â€œEarth Democracy,â€ serve as an urgent call to peace and as the basis for a just and sustainable future.
