Bretton Woods and the Washington Consensus

extracts : (complete text on pdf)

"It requires a whole new culture for organizations to think of sustainable development in terms of whole communities in relation to their respective habitats rather than in terms of sector-specialized enterprises and capital projects. It demands a whole new discipline to combine in feasibility appraisals, social and ecological integrated with economic criteria. A new breed of managers must emerge that manages communities towards integral goals where economic efficiency is defined to include social equity and ecological wholeness as integral outputs from the use of resources.


. Ideas - Movements - Institutions: these define the sequence and process of social transformation. Ideas become dominant among a critical mass of people and stimulate social movements. Social movements topple old institutions or energize them with a new spirit and a new culture. Such a process established the hegemony of the ruling economic order responsible for the enterprise-centered, growth-obsessed, unsustainable world that we have. It will take a similar process to transform our world into the community-centered sustainable socio-economic order that alone can save humanity and its habitat."
