There seems to be almost universal agreement that we are destroying our environment, and that the culture of capitalism is unsustainable. There is also agreement that if people in the so-called developing world emulate the life style of people in the developed world, they will be inviting environmental catastrophe. For example, we note in Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism that in the United States there is one automobile for every 1.3 persons; in China there is one automobile for every 125 persons. But the Chinese people (with the full support of the Chinese government, not to mention automobile manufacturers) want to have as many cars as Americans do. The result could be an ecological disaster. Global warming, some scientists say, is with us, and is responsible for the dramatic changes in weather patterns of the past few years; the depletion of the ozone layer is causing an epidemic of skin cancers; toxic wastes are rapidly washing over our living space, particularly in the developing world and in poor areas of the developed world. The question, of course, what, if anything, can be done about it?
