- Summary
- "The Barbaric Heart argues that the present environment crisis will not be resolved by the same forms of crony capitalism and managerial technocracy that created the crisis in the first place. Curtis White argues that the solution might very well come from an unexpected quarter: the arts, religion, and the realm of the moral imagination."--Jacket.
