Beyond the Growth Dilemma: Toward an Ecologically Integrated Economy calls attention to the enormous dilemma we face. While the U.S. economy in its current form needs growth to prosper, more growth makes the rich richer while unemployment, hunger, and violence are widespread, and human economies are already larger than Earth can continue to support. This sixth Quaker Institute for the Future pamphlet builds a framework for the changes that are needed for an ecologically integrated economy. This kind of economy leads to prosperous and thriving lives for humans and other creatures within the limits of planet Earth. Our society's basic goal must change from "more" to "enough." Changes in the way we earn our livelihoods, organize and carry out production, and govern the commons are all discussed.

The economies of virtually all nations require growth to function. Yet more growth makes the wealthiest even wealthier, while unemployment, hunger, and violence are widespread, and human economies, in aggregate, are already larger than Earth's ecosystems can continue to support. It's the Economy, Friends is aimed at understanding the dilemma that the unremitting drive for growth creates within the limited ecosystems of Earth.
