Description
Some of these books, such as John Kenneth Galbraith?s “The Affluent Society,” Rachel Carson?s “Silent Spring,” and Ralph Nader?s “Unsafe at Any Speed,” are well known, while others, like Ernest Dichter?s “The Psychology of Everyday Living,” David Morris Potter?s “People of Plenty,” and Paul Ehrlich?s “The Population Bomb,” may be less familiar. An epilogue carries the story forward to the turn of the new century, as Americans find themselves grappling with the political and cultural implications of a new wave of prosperity.

Description
Americans have been conditioned to appreciate, cheer, and serve economic growth. Czech offers a sophisticated yet accessible critique of the principles of economic growth theory and the fallacious extension of these principles into the “pop economics” of Julian Simon and others. He points with hope to the new discipline of ecological economics, which prescribes the steady state economy as a sustainable alternative to economic growth. From his perspective as a wildlife ecologist, Czech draws revealing parallels between the economy of nature and the human economy. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Tags
