Humans are a success model. Since the migration of the first hominids out of Africa, they have spread across the globe as a superorganism. Today, they are encountering limits almost everywhere. The global financial market crisis offers a glimpse of what may come. The authors foresee a fundamental change and therefore advocate for a sustainable program: a global eco-social market economy and a Global Marshall Plan - eco-social rather than market-radical. The new edition highlights the latest developments.
