My Review’s Abstract
Have you ever wondered how far your everyday activities could reach out? When the emptiness of your fridge is just unbearable, there is nothing fascinating about a late evening stroll to the closest supermarket.
Or maybe everything. Your consumer choice may push both developed and developing economies closer to the edge of ecological suicide.
Original Abstract (2008)
In this powerful and provocative manifesto, Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. For the first time in human history, he observes, “more” is no longer synonymous with “better”―indeed, for many of us, they have become almost opposites.
