The present ecological mutation has organized the whole political landscape for the last thirty years. This could explain the deadly cocktail of exploding inequalities, massive deregulation, and conversion of the dream of globalization into a nightmare for most people. What holds these three phenomena together is the conviction, shared by some powerful people, that the ecological threat is real and that the only way for them to survive is to abandon any pretense at sharing a common future with the rest of the world. Hence their flight offshore and their massive investment in climate change denial. The Left has been slow to turn its attention to this new situation. It is still organized along an axis that goes from investment in local values to the hope of globalization and just at the time when, everywhere, people dissatisfied with the ideal of modernity are turning back to the protection of national or even ethnic borders. This is why it is urgent to shift sideways and to define politics as what leads toward the Earth and not toward the global or the national. Belonging to a territory is the phenomenon most in need of rethinking and careful redescription; learning new ways to inhabit the Earth is our biggest challenge. Bringing us down to earth is the task of politics today.

At the beginning of the 21st Century, the United States of America is the only super-power on Earth, and is the latest of many societies and civilizations to rise to unprecedented levels of power and wealth. None of those past societies were able to extend, or even maintain, their successes. There were many reasons for their declines, and one underlying cause that began the process. America is no exception. America faces a fork in the road to the future. America's choice will largely determine the fate of humanity. Ending Entrenched Power takes a new and ambitious approach to humanity's problems and opportunities. Using human society's primary institutions, religion, government and commerce for a framework, it links spiritual life and political conduct. Today, modern societies, in a desire to politically unite people of different faiths, divorce religion from government. These governments become amoral institutions focused on power and bureaucracy. The challenge for future leaders is to unite people through the spiritual principles common to all religions. The result will be religions, governments and economies that serve the best interests of societies as they proceed towards the destiny of humanity.

For more than a decade Mikhail Gorbachev has been engaged in working to protect the earth and its inhabitants via the organization he founded in 1992, Green Cross International. In an age when ecological crises, poverty and military conflicts are humanity’s main challenges, Gorbachev urges us to stop regarding these problems in isolation. The man who changed the destiny of Russia, Europe and the world is now calling for a global and comprehensive Perestroika (reform) for the twenty-first century. Based on his many years of experience in international politics, Gorbachev appeals for urgent action founded on a broad vision, including a strengthening of the UN and reforms to the World Bank, the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund. To complement the Declaration on Human Rights and the Charter of the UN he has co-authored the remarkable Earth Charter that is based on four key principles: 1. Respect and Care for the Community of Life; 2. Ecological Integrity; 3. Social and Economic Justice; 4. Democracy, Nonviolence, and Peace. Manifesto for the Earth is a courageous and thought-provoking work by a respected elder statesman. In a partisan and polarized world, this is a “manifesto” that does not compromise its integrity to political, ideological or national sympathies.
