It Doesn't Have to Be This Way: A Critique Of, And Alternatives For, Australia's Current Neoliberal, Ecocidal And Greed-capitalist E

At the intersection of economics, politics, ecology and philosophy there's a path for change and hope, but we'll need to give up some old ideas to gain it. Our high cost of living has been fuelled by Neoliberal, monetarist economics, with higher interest rates causing more inflation, and tax cuts for the wealthy only pushing prices higher. Our broken economy is also the primary cause of Global Heating, which is killing the biosphere and necessitates a change in how we live and work. This book proposes a science-literate and Nature-friendly economics for survival, a philosophy for living, and a hope for World Peace Now.
