A New Map of the World by Ian Linden
We are poised between a dying age of industrial production and the new information and network society and Ian Linden argues for a radical transformation of politics.
‘Hugely importantA New Map of the World is a unique combination of theological, economic and practical expertise.’ -- Rowan Williams
‘This is indeed a new mappa mundi. Linden illuminates globalisation’s dark corners and lays bare the interconnection between economics, politics, crime and fundamentalism. But his distinct contribution is an ethical dimension that draws on sources as diverse as Amartya Sen and Thomas Aquinas to lay out the imperative of a better life for the world’s poor as well as those who can help bring about such an outcome - those of us living in the rich world. This is a book for students and development practitioners of all ages and opinions. Read it!’ -- Meghnad Desai, Professor of Economics and Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Governance, LSE
