Abstract

In this chapter, the book presents the public policy implications of the unified theory. What choices does human society have in the Anthropocene age? In order to answer this question, this chapter constructs a final and policy-oriented evolutionary model (IV). It is also testable. Public policies will be derived from this empirically validated model; hence, they will be science-based policies.
