Book excerpt: The Death of Industrial Civilization explains how the contemporary ecological crisis within industrial society is caused by the values inherent in unlimited economic growth and competitive materialism.

He prescribes the social changes that must be implemented in order to transform industrial society into a sustainable and more satisfying one.
