twentieth will certainly be defined in the future as the economic century. I
shall prove that only a change toward a more caring and compassionate
culture at all levels from the personal to the ecological can avoid massive

competitiveness, based on ever-increasing technological competence, will
solve our problems then my message will seem pessimistic and, indeed, highly
