SIDELIGHTS: Takis Fotopoulos once told CA: "My primary motivation in writing has been to develop a new political project; that is, the project for an inclusive democracy (political, economic, ecological, and democracy in the social realm). The aim of this project is to reintegrate society with economy, polity, and nature. It represents a synthesis of the socialist and democratic traditions, which also encompasses the new social movements (feminist, green, et cetera). I started developing this project in my articles for the journal Democracy and Nature, and I further expanded it in my books, Towards an Inclusive Democracy: The Crisis of the Growth Economy and the Need for a New Liberatory Project and Globalization, the Left, and Inclusive Democracy."
