Today, in an economic system that revolves around producing and consuming things, we face the challenges that lie ahead in dealing with the leftovers of an age of rampant, imperishable objects. The intrinsic design ideologies of sustainability and social responsibility are often not new. This book presents a history of socially committed design strategies within the Western tradition, from William Morris to Victor Papanek, and from VKhUTEMAS to FabLab.
