This book lays out a new approach to worldwide economic and industrial development and to solving the grim problems facing humankind and the environment.

 

"Humanity today is passing through an extremely important and crucial transition toward a global society. In this process each individual is obliged to adjust his or her psychic and spiritual being to successfully cope with the new paradigm. This whole area offers endless scope for a creative exploration of the relationship between the individual and the community, between members of the vast family, and within the crucible of each individual psyche. Dr. Abt has made an important contribution toward articulating a holistic approach to the process of planning for modernization. He has touched upon some of the deeper issues involved which require our careful and sustained attention."

Der Autor bezieht die Entdeckung des kollektiven Unbewussten in die Problematik der Entwicklungsplanung im ländlichen Raum ein. Das führte ihn zu neuen Erkenntnissen über den Beziehungswandel des Menschen zu seinem Lebensraum wie auch über den sozialen Wandel.

Er zeigt Ansätze, wie dem drohenden Seelenverlust durch den gewaltigen technischen Fortschritt begegnet werden kann.
