Abstract

Driven by the ideology of infinite growth, the (global) corporations act as if they must expand or die, and in multiplying they have made thrift into a liability and waste into a virtue. Their growth depends upon converting ever-greater portions of the earth into throw-away societies—ever-greater unusable waste produced with each ton of increasingly scarce mineral resources, ever-greater consumption of non-disposable and non-returnable packaging, ever-greater consumption of energy, and ever-more heat in our water and our air. In short, ever more ecological imbalance. As central planners, hoarders of information, and creators of sophisticated hierarchies, the corporate managers are seeking to legitimize new organizational loyalties to rival family, town, church, and state, and in so doing they are accelerating the process of alienation which aggravates psychological distress.
