Transformation

Book recommendations on the changing world

However, the transformation, which involves several parallel change processes, is not just a technical or economic task, but also a social and societal one. Cohesion and confidence are key if the transformation is to succeed.

Alliance for Transformation, dialog format of the German government

Transformation refers to a socio-ecological change in the economy and society. It is a comprehensive process of change that affects many areas: energy transformation towards renewable energies, economic transformation towards more sustainability and digitalization, social transformation towards more equality and satisfaction, etc. Numerous current political and social debates are calling for a rethink on both a small and large scale. The current book recommendations take a look at the upcoming topics that are pushing for change, but also examine the question of how successful previous political and social transformations have been, such as Germany's unification process.

A Great Transformation towards a better world for all is humanity's greatest adventure. It will consist of many small steps - but it will not succeed without a clear orientation and unflagging enthusiasm for what is possible.
