I'm very pleased to announce that The Wealth of Nature: Economics As If Survival Mattered, my widely acclaimed book on ecological economics, is headed back into print. Founders House Publishing is now accepting preorders and will be publishing the book on or before October 13, 2021. Here's the cover blurb, for those who aren't familiar with this end of my work: *********
The Wealth of Nature proposes a new model of economics based on the integral value of ecology. Building on the foundations of E.F. Schumacher's revolutionary "economics as if people mattered", this book examines the true cost of confusing money with wealth. By analyzing the mistakes of contemporary economics, it shows how an economy centered on natural capital—the ecological cycles that support human life—can move our society toward a more productive relationship with the planet that sustains us all. Profoundly insightful and impeccably argued, this book is required reading for anyone interested in the intersection of the environment and the economy as we enter the twilight of the Age of Abundance.

Date: 2021-09-15 10:13 am (UTC)I ask because they both seem like solid evergreen books. About the only difference I could point to in 'After Progress' is that the ITER now has an estimated cost of 25 billion euro where as in the book it was still only 17 billion. Needless to say, your points have aged very well.

Date: 2021-09-15 01:58 pm (UTC)I read the first edition when it was first published. It was very good. I used it extensively as a source book when I was still being invited by leftists to make presentations about environmental and energy issues. I no longer get such invitations now! Never mind!
Congratulations for the second printing though!

Date: 2021-09-15 05:31 pm (UTC)Only related in that it's about one of your books from Founders House - I just received my Weird of Hali Cookbook (and it looks great! Can't wait to try some of the recipes), only I received two copies instead of the one I ordered and paid for. Any requests/recommendations on what to do with the second copy?
