Deep Economy

How can we live successfully in a fossil-fuel-scarce and climate-changed world? Author, thinker and environmentalist Bill McKibben’s provocative and highly engaging new book provides a promising answer. We can “relocalize” and, in the process, become happier. In Deep Economy, McKibben puts forth a compelling new way to think about what we buy, what we eat, the energy we use, and the money that pays for it all. His book may be one of the first to fully explore the topic of climate change and peak oil from an economic perspective. His argument: More is no longer better. Economic growth can no longer be the definition of economic success. 261 pages, hardcover. USA.
