A groundbreaking statement about ecological decline, suggesting
a radical change in how we think about consumer goods, value, and
ways to live.
In "True Wealth," economist Juliet B. Schor rejects the
sacrifice message, with the insight that social innovations and new
technology can simultaneously enhance our lives and protect the
planet. Schor shares examples of urban farmers, DIY renovators, and
others working outside the conventional market to illuminate the
path away from the work-and-spend cycle and toward a new world rich
in time, creativity, information, and community.
