"The Simultaneous Policy -An Insider's Guide to Saving Humanity and the Planet"
by John Bunzl
With Foreword by Diana Schumacher
The greatest barrier to solving our global environmental, economic and social problems is destructive competition between nations to attract capital and jobs, harming society and the environment around the world. The Simultaneous Policy offers a solution and also outlines a political campaign which transcends party politics and offers the prospect of global transformation and survival. The Simultaneous Policy is a lucid analysis of globalisation and a compelling solution to global problems such as global warming, out-of-control global financial markets and the growing power of transnational corporations.
