Management of the Commons - A Guide to Saving Planet Earth Steve Bailey

The planet is in peril. The first point of Steve Bailey's new economic and social issues essay should be obvious to anyone with eyes: we are using natural resources too quickly and have no plan for protecting them for future generations. The struggle for everything from oil to water is quickly turning into survival of the fittest, and Bailey argues that this attitude is going to be the end of the environment if we do not act fast. With life as we know it on the line, Bailey outlines everything that must be done to avoid the true tragedy of the commons. Bailey's work covers environmental philosophy topics ranging from global pollution to the troubling legacies of tribalism and xenophobia. This startling new look at political philosophy about Earth issues marks Bailey as one of the best new essayists to read as he addresses the management of global commons and the inherent inequality in our current systems.
