Now, Hans Küng, one of the world's preeminent Christian theologians, explores these issues in a visionary and cautionary look at the coming global society. \u003cbr\u003e How can the new world order of the twenty first century avoid the horrors of the twentieth? Will nations form a real community or continue to aggressively pursue their own interests? Will the Machiavellian approaches of the past prevail over idealism and a more humanitarian politics? What role can religion play in a world increasingly dominated by transnational corporations? Küng tackles these and many other questions with the insight and moral authority that comes from a lifetime's devotion to the search for justice and human dignity. Arguing against both an amoral \u003cem\u003erealpolitik\u003c\/em\u003e and an immoral resurgence of \u003cem\u003elaissez faire\u003c\/em\u003e economics, Küng defines a comprehensive ethic founded on the bedrock of mutual respect and humane treatment of all beings that would encompass the ecological, legal, technological, and social patterns that are reshaping civilization. If we are going to have a global economy, a global technology, a global media, Küng argues, we must also have a global ethic to\u003cbr\u003ewhich all nations, and peoples of the most varied backgrounds and beliefs, can commit themselves. \"The world,\" he says, \"is not going to be held together by the Internet.\"\u003cbr\u003e For anyone concerned about the world we are creating, \u003cem\u003eA Global Ethic for Global Politics and Economics\u003c\/em\u003e offers equal measures of informed analysis, compassionate foresight, and wise counsel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHans Küng\u003c\/strong\u003e is President of the Global Ethic Foundation, and author of \u003cem\u003eGlobal Responsibility, Judaism, Credo: The Apostles Creed Explained for Today, \u003c\/em\u003e and many other works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.09 x 9.6 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 16, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52288320635154,"sku":"9780195122282","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/RFBFcWVPYUp0bFA0dlY4eStCeXBpZz09.webp?v=1779364514","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/a-global-ethic-for-global-politics-and-economics-hardcover","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
