Two decades ago, the Brandt Commission reports, North-South and Common Crisis offered the international community a forward-looking plan for balancing the creation of wealth with the provision of public goods and the preservation of the environment. The Brandt Equation reintroduces the Brandt Commission's vision for a sustainable global economy, stressing that the fortunes of global society are more encompassing than the fortunes of any individual, group or nation. It calls for a full-scale reordering of global priorities to meet humanity's interrelated economic problems and development needs. It is a blueprint for the 21st century economy. |
