| Description: |
This fascinating work promotes a most interesting premise: that an economy with "enough" as its goal provides better prospects for the future than one that continuously pursues "more." |
| Synopsis: |
Enough Is Enough: Building a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources presents a summary of an intriguing, yet seemingly counterintuitive proposition: that the pursuit of continuous economic growth is not the key to a sustainable future. Including both environmental and social perspectives, this is a book of solutions--solutions for climate change, poverty, unemployment, and other pressing problems. The book is organized into three parts. Part one asks why we need an economic framework different from the one we currently have and provides the rationale for the concept of a steady state economy. Part two lays out changes in policy and culture necessary for building a better economy, offering the most complete set of ideas available for making this monumental economic shift. The third section explores how we get there, providing a roadmap with which society can jumpstart the transition. Readers will come away from Enough Is Enough with an understanding of why our current economic system won't work for the long term, a vision for a better economy, and a blueprint for making it happen. |
