Presents a clear case for why our current development paradigm is more accurately characterized as what Vandana Shiva calls 'maldevelopment' – the violation of the integrity of organic, interconnected and interdependent systems that sets in motion a process of exploitation, inequality, violence, and injustice that is dragging the world down a path of self-destruction, threatening survival itself.
