Current patterns of global economic activity are not only unsustainable, but unethical this claim is central to Materialist Ethics and LifeValue. Grounding the definition of ethical value in the natural and social requirements of lifesupport and lifedevelopment shared by all human beings, Jeff Noonan provides a new way of understanding the universal conception of "the good life." Noonan argues that the true crisis affecting the world today is not sluggish rates of economic growth but the model of measuring economic and social health in terms of moneyvalue. In response, he develops an alternative understanding of good societies where the breadth and depth of lifeactivity and enjoyment are dependent on dominant institutions. The more social institutions satisfy the necessary requirements of human life, the more they empower each person to develop and enjoy the capacities that make human life valuable and meaningful. A wellreasoned synthesis of traditional philosophical concerns and contemporary critiques of global capitalism, this book is a forwardlooking treatise that defends political struggle and reconsiders what is most important for a happy life.
