Krátky popis
As the world's superpowers and corporations jostle for control in
space, A. C. Grayling asks: who really owns our planet?'Grayling
brings satisfying order to daunting subjects.' STEVEN PINKERSilicon
for microchips, manganese for batteries, titanium for missiles.The
moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth’s
supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world’s
superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to
the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C.Grayling asks: who,
if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space?
And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth
and its inhabitants as a whole?From feudal common land, through the
rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica,
Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and
therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called
terra nullius has fallen victim to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ –
the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few
individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else – Who
Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new
global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of
everyone who lives on this planet.
