Abstract
In the five decades since the end of World War II, the world has witnessed an impressive record of economic growth in the industrialized countries, transforming those societies into modern ones with high standards of living. This same process of economic growth has, however, two important deficiencies: first, it has degraded the global environment; second, it has created benefits of prosperity and progress which largely bypassed the Southern hemisphere leaving those developing countries in a condition of poverty underdevelopment which also degrades the environment. Such a pattern of development is clearly not sustainable.
