André Gorz: “The profit-driven economy must be replaced by a decentralised, distributive economy. Only in integrated communities, “on a human scale”, can the adjustment of production to needs and of needs to resources – as well as the care of the environment – be based on collective decisions rather than on bureaucratic and police constraints. Free activity, the self-determination of producers working together at local and regional level, takes precedence over wage labour and market relations. Ultimately, ecologists provide scientific support for all those who reject the present order as barbaric disorder.”
