The unselfish spirit: human evolution in a time of global crisis

摘要

In 1984, Joyce Pearce of the Ockenden Venture founded a movement called 'A Strategy of Hope for a World in Crisis', with a meeting at the House of Commons. In 1972, Edward Goldsmith published 'A Blueprint for Survival'. The Blueprint preceded the first UN Conference on the Human Environment, in Stockholm (1972). None of these three things seems to have made any impression on international governmental operations. Politics and economics continued as they had been; and as they were then, so are they now. The rise of UKIP or of le Front National represents the desire of individuals for a representation better than the unconvincing persons who dominate their lives, achieving nothing to improve them. Those who cast their minds back to the 1930s can see disturbing parallels in Britain, France and Germany. Population Matters has issued its manifesto for the British general election, 2015. It can be read without any reliance on Collins' views, but echoes 'A Blueprint for Survival.'
