Summary

Exploding the myth that the industrialized nations will be able to continue indefinitely their current high levels of consumption, this book shows just how destructive such a course is to humanity and to the environment. McDonagh explores how the cry of the poor and of the earth challenge the complacency of the dominant institutions, including religious ones.
