Women and the Challenge of the Ecological Era

The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.

The era of greed and dominance must end. In the Ecological Era, according to Dana Lee Jackson, "we must learn from nature and from women in order to transform our destructive patterns . . . . The first step . . . is to cultivate and elevate in importance some of the qualities and values most generally associated with women that can help us abandon our suicidal patterns." We can then "combine what we have learned in the ecological era and what we have learned in the feminist era to respond to environmental crises."
