The Sustainable Development Paradox
http://pelicanweb.org/solisustv05n01.html

As part of a series of articles on “dimensions of sustainable development,” the January 2009 issue concludes that it is not possible to integrate the social, economic, and political dimensions of sustainable development unless “homo economicus” becomes “homo solidarius.” Basically, this means making decisions and taking action based on both self-interest and the common good. Usually this leads to consuming less and sharing more.

Moving forward, I need information and data on programs, policies, and social diffusion methods (especially via internet) to promote the transition from “homo economicus” to “homo solidarius,” individually and collectively.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,
Luis
