Maja Göpel & Bernd Ulrich: »Wir können auch anders«

The world of tomorrow

Our world is at a turning point: in many ways we’ve never had it so good, but we also see upheaval, destruction and crisis wherever we turn. From society to the environment – it seems our systems have all become strained at the same time. Professor Maja Göpel has been working as a political economist and sustainability researcher on the intersection between science, politics and society for 25 years. In her latest book »Wir können auch anders« (We Can Do Things Differently), she provides answers to the big questions of our time: how can we find a way of life that reconciles the well-being of the planet with that of humanity?
