Reviews

This book is more up to date than ever. It identifies the main problem of meeting the challenges of sustainability in the psychology of motivation and argues that the essential remedy for the perils of climate change is a change in the mind-set of the peoples in the industrialised world. Written by a banker, it specifically deals with the ethical responsibility of bankers and other professions dealing with long-term investments. Professor Dieter Birnbacher, University of Dusseldorf, Germany
