We must resist the dictatorship of the markets! Our society is further removed from sustainability and sustainable development than ever before! This book sheds light on Europe’s cultural achievements and the “Babylonian confusion of thought” that clouds our understanding today. It reveals the mechanisms that lead to self-enrichment and legalized plundering, and explains how we are ruled by the terrorism of a radical market morality. Dirk Solte explores how the global financial system and sustainability are connected, why the world fails to agree on what is clearly necessary, and how we can defend Europe’s ideals in order to preserve our peace-based model of prosperity. A passionate call for a strong Europe!
