Choosing Our FutureEdition 1

First Published in 1992, Choosing Our Future presents a personal but highly rigorous account of the environmental problems facing us and of the ways in which they can be tackled. Ann Taylor's approach centres on the traditional values of democratic socialism, establishing their inherent compatibility with modern concerns of sustainable economic development and environmental protection. She argues that people and planet are interdependent and that ensuring a balance between the needs of both is the historic role of the Labour Party.

Lucid and topical, this book will appeal to anyone who is interested in realistic, hard- headed solutions to environmental problems. It will be of interest to general readers and to members of the Labour movement, environmentalists and professionals in environmental management and regulation. It will also be useful to students of politics and development.
