The global financial network also relies on advanced information technologies – it is shaped by machines, and the resulting economic, social and cultural environment is not life-enhancing but life-degrading, in both a social and an ecological sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCapra demonstrates conclusively how tightly humans are connected with the fabric of life and makes it clear that it is imperative to organise the world according to a different set of values and beliefs, not only for the well-being of human organisations, but for the survival and sustainability of humanity as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fritjof Capra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46895258075285,"sku":"9780006551584","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780006551584_fe0087fd-f00e-4fbc-8358-e8153b8013ab.jpg?v=1776888160","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780006551584","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
