In his foreword to Jeffrey Sachs’ “>Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet, a giant of biology, E. O. Wilson, writes:
“Almost all the crises that afflict the world economy are ultimately environmental in origin: they prominently include climatic change, pollution, water shortage, defaunation, decline of arable soil, depletion of marine fisheries, tightening of petroleum sources, persistent pockets of severe poverty, the threat of pandemics, and a dangerous disparity [in equality] of resource appropriation within and between nations.”
