What they are saying
“More and more people are convinced that the only way to a just, prosperous and ecologically sustainable future is to share the value of Earth’s resources more fairly. One of the many merits of Alanna Hartzok’s collection of writings is to ground that conviction in practical proposals. She inspires us to do something about it.”
— James Robertson, author, The New Economics of Sustainable Development, co-founder, The Other Economic Summit and the New Economics Foundation, consultant, European Commission, London
“Alanna Hartzok has deeply researched tax issues with equity and ecological-sustainability firmly in mind. This book is a storehouse of wisdom and insights on these and many broader issues relating economics to the larger planetary ecology.”
— Hazel Henderson, author, Beyond Globalization and Building a Win-Win World, member, President’s Commission on Sustainable Development, founder, Ethical Markets TV
“There are many of your articles which I dearly want to publish at www.stwr.net. The Share the World’s Resources audience is vast and certainly your message through your articles will be most welcome by our readers and members around the world.”
— Mohammed Mesbahi, Chair and Founder, Share the World’s Resources, London
“We belong to the Earth as all life does. We have perverted ourselves and made this beautiful land as our enemy. How we harmonize ourselves with the bounties of nature is the theme of The Earth Belongs to Everyone by Alanna Hartzok. She is one of the few professional economic writers who understands the crises of our age and provides practical solutions. Everyone who cares for the children’s dream must read Alanna’s book.”
— Rashmi Mayur, author, Pedagogy of the Earth and other works, director, International Institute for Sustainable Future, Mumbai, India
“Alanna Hartzok is one of the top experts describing new economic ethics and policies that can create a fair distribution of wealth and protect the earth. In this collection of articles she shows us how fairly sharing the earth can build a culture of peace and justice. She must be heard if we are to avoid further crises and chaos in our world!”
— Anne Goeke (de la Bouillerie), co-director, Earth Rights Institute, author, Global Greens Coordinator, international peace and political activist, sustainable living consultant, Santa Monica, California
“Alanna Hartzok’s grasp of land issues is truly impressive. A real intellectual feast. I have learned so much from her work and writings.”
