This work analyzes the extent of the developed world's commitment to consumption economics, and how radical but necessary changes in the world can come about. It addresses both the macro-scale of world organizations and the grass-roots level of people and their lives and beliefs, offering a blueprint for the evolving of a new sustainable global society on planet earth. The author maps the route by which a new civilization may be built, from the bottom up, by the users of it - people. Bahro's ideas cover social, historical, political, environmental and spiritual dimensions. This book is also available in an unabridged version, translated directly as it was in German. For libraries, study groups and those more deeply involved in Green and German politics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552817586449,"sku":"GOR001784820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49616137322769,"sku":"GOR003894826","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946551715.jpg?v=1750704760"},{"product_id":"building-the-green-movement-book-rudolf-bahro-9780946097173","title":"Building the Green Movement","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571612623121,"sku":"GOR004907092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946097178.jpg?v=1751045704"},{"product_id":"from-red-to-green-book-rudolf-bahro-9780860917601","title":"From Red to Green","description":"When Rudolf Bahro left East Germany in 1979, two years after publication of The Alternative in Eastern Europe, very little was known about the background to this imposing study of the structures and suppressed potential of 'actually existing socialism'. In this series of interviews organized by New Left Review, he systematically discusses his childhood years in Nazi Germany, his political and intellectual development as a loyal - though never unthinking - supporter of the Ulbricht regime, the emergence of his critique of the Soviet Union, and his close identification with the Prague Spring.  The invasion of Czechoslovakia had a profound effect on Bahro, who immediately set to work on the massive project that would occupy nearly a decade of his life. A central section of the book addresses the intellectual influences and personal circumstances surrounding its accomplishment, before going on to the significance of his arrest in 1977. Released from prison under a general amnesty, then forced into exile, Bahro has since enthusiastically embraced the Green Party and ecology movement in West Germany, becoming its most forceful advocate of 'industrial disarmament'. In the concluding interviews, he analyses his own response to this new opposition in West Germany, situating it in relation to the new cold war and tensions within the Social Democratic Party on the one hand, and to the traditional perspectives of historical materialism on the other.   The fruitful and wide-ranging exchange of ideas in From Red to Green will be of interest to everyone concerned with the pressing social and political problems of the late twentieth century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49618583224593,"sku":"GOR004347501","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49625706529041,"sku":"GOR002197393","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0860917606.jpg?v=1750850806"},{"product_id":"socialism-and-survival-book-rudolf-bahro-9780946097005","title":"Socialism and Survival","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49658425508113,"sku":"GOR003202110","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52629217313041,"sku":"GOR003130774","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52648607318289,"sku":"GOR005441963","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946097003.jpg?v=1751012729"},{"product_id":"alternative-in-eastern-europe-book-rudolf-bahro-9780860910060","title":"The Alternative in Eastern Europe","description":"The contemporary Marxist writer provides analyses of socialist theory, modern political struggle, and socialist societies in Eastern Europe.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50148044144913,"sku":"CIN0860910067G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50331624472849,"sku":"GOR007380844","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52858344407313,"sku":"NIN9780860910060","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0860910067.jpg?v=1751330841"},{"product_id":"alternative-in-eastern-europe-book-rudolf-bahro-9780860917342","title":"The Alternative in Eastern Europe","description":"The contemporary Marxist writer provides analyses of socialist theory, modern political struggle, and socialist societies in Eastern Europe.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50188550144273,"sku":"GOR004858098","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50514689917201,"sku":"GOR005713297","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51813513101585,"sku":"GOR003621348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0860917347.jpg?v=1751233574"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-rudolf-bahro.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
