Description

Inequality and environmental degradation are well-documented as critical challenges for our time, but the intricate connections between them are often overlooked. In *The Last Chance*, development economist Professor Ladislau Dowbor offers a systemic overview of the crises facing global society. The book links the social, economic, and political dimensions of our predicament, arguing that the erosion of social cohesion is a direct consequence of a broken economic and political system dominated by unchecked corporate power and rampant financialization.

The work explores the dual potential of the digital revolution, as a tool for global control and also as a catalyst for free collaboration. The author presents a compelling case for decentralized, community-based solutions and collaborative platforms as the path toward restoring sociability and building a sustainable future. The book is intended for researchers, students, policymakers, and activists in economics, political science, and development studies.
