studied in isolation from each other: to understand one you have to understand the other.
These principles are, I believe, one of the great strengths of our School as we face the
problems of our present age of globalization: extremely rapid changes in the world financial
system, the widening gap between rich and poor, dwindling energy supplies and global
warming, to name but a few. Our mission is to face these issues squarely and to articulate
ways in which human society can reorganize its social, political and economic institutions to
support a world in which human beings can live together happily and in security.
