Visions of a Brighter Future
Description
Hazel Henderson believes the old models for development are changing, going beyond GDP and GNP to broader indicators of wealth based on peace and human rights. According to Henderson, the rise of nonprofits, NGOs, and volunteer workers has challenged old-fashioned corporate mentalities, and the concept of socially responsible investing is gaining momentum. Is an era of environmental sustainability, respect for social concerns, and global cooperation now possible? In this program Henderson and a panel of economists share their views on what lies ahead for the human family, touching on the UN's Millennium Development Goals and the vision of the Darwin Group-who submit that Charles Darwin spent more time addressing "the human genius for altruism and cooperation" than he did on survival of the fittest. With former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff, UN Human Development Report director Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, and independent economist John Perkins.
