520			_aDesigning the Green Economy looks at the ecological economy as a stage of human development, as real postindustrialism. The author argues that new productive forces based in human cultural development have redefined the nature of wealth — from quantitative to qualitative. Real development can now only be defined in terms of individual, community and ecological regeneration’¢Î— and yet these growing potentials have been increasing suppressed or distorted by industrial institutions over the last century. Archaic definitions of wealth — as money and material — threaten to destroy the planet and what remains of human community, creating crisis, inequality and environmental destruction. The author argues that real social change today involves not just opposing exploitation and injustice, but implementing social and ecological alternatives which directly target human development and ecological regeneration. Postindustrial social movement strategy involves a fundamental shift in focus from opposition to alternatives. These alternatives must inextricably involve individual/spiritual change, community development, and ecological renewal.
