The world is changing rapidly and deeply. The challenge is first to undertand the changes, then how to respond. For over four decades I have used the science of ecology to analyze, describe and organize the changes humans are dealing with. It is very revealing. I have systematically worked to...
The Connecting the Dots series has convincingly shown a number of interconnected reasons why the global system is in crisis, and why there is no way out without a structural transformation of the dominant neoliberal system.

Saying "everything is connected" is pretty popular these days. "Systems thinking" is the discipline du jour. Everyone, it seems, is becoming aware that the challenges we face do not stand alone. Climate change, for example, is not just about carbon emissions, but also about economics, race relations, patriarchy and power....
Where rights are at stake, immediate action is required. Those who continue to uphold the existing, highly skewed international economic and financial order delay the realization of human rights by many decades, thereby becoming responsible for hundreds of millions of poverty-related deaths in the meantime.
It wasn’t long before I too learned to connect the dots.
