Our industrial-affluent-consumer society is extremely
unjust and ecologically unsustainable. Almost all
social and economic problems are getting worse. These
problems cannot be solved in a society that is driven
by obsession with high rates of production and
consumption, affluent living standards, market forces,
the profit motive and economic growth. Problems of
ecological destruction, Third World poverty, resource
depletion, conflict and social breakdown are caused by
consumer-capitalist society and cannot be solved
unless we move to simpler, more self-sufficient and
cooperative lifestyles, and a very different economy,
i.e., The Simpler Way.
