The Gift of Peaceful Genes: Cultural Evolution on a Finite Earth
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Are we trying too hard to keep the economy growing, especially now that is taking us is in such dangerous directions, not only damaged environments and depleted resources, but terrorism, too? Johnson argues that it is time to start seeking ways of letting the economy slow down gracefully, and that if this small, beautiful planet is to be a true home for our descendents, we will have to find satisfactions more in the social, emotional, and spiritual realms than the material and competitive. He points to peaceful cooperation as the key to human evolutionary success, and explores how we can begin moving in this direction now.
