Contents It Is Time for Our Hearts to Be Broken -- Bretton Woods Takes Center Stage in the Carnival -- Industria Encloses the Global Commons -- Capitalism's Endless Pursuit of Profit Destroys the World's Food Supply -- A Green Theory of the State -- Earth Consciousness, Earth Action -- A World Indigenous Movement : "We Are the Watchers, We Are Witnesses."
Summary The Power of the Talking Stick makes the case that, reaching back to the beginning of the nation-state and all through the current period of corporate-led globalization, our governments and social institutions have been engaged in activities that will ultimately extinguish the world's ecological life support systems. The book offers an alternative, listening to indigenous leaders and others whose voices often go unheard in the din of contemporary culture. Their warning is stark, but their insights are firmly grounded in traditional knowledge and provide a way to see past the politics and rescue the Earth. -- from back cover
