Yet another great book from NSP.

As energy and food prices escalate and debt levels explode, paths that formerly led to economic prosperity now lead to disaster. This book proposes a startling diagnosis: the global economy has reached a fundamental turning point—the end of growth. The Great Recession will not end in "recovery." Still, we can thrive in coming years if we abandon the futile pursuit of growth in consumption and aim instead for improvements in quality of life.

The End of Growth re-evaluates cherished eocnomic theories and describes what policymakers, communities, and families can do to build a new economy that operates within Earth's budget of energy and resources. We can thrive during the transition if we set goals that promote human and environmental well-being, rather than pursuing the now-unattainable prisze of ever-expanding GDP.
