McKibben is a fitting prophet... [His] dexterity as a keen observer and stellar wordsmith makes Deep Economy well worth reading., "I'd like to see Deep Economy read in every Econ 101 class. Bill McKibben asks the central human question: What is the economy for ? The stakes here are terrifyingly high, but with his genial style and fascinating examples of alternative approaches, McKibben convinces me that economics is anything but dismal-if only we can learn to do it right!"-Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed "The cult of growth and globalization has seldom been so effectively challenged as by Bill McKibben in Deep Economy . But this bracing tonic of a book also throws the bright light of McKibben's matchless journalism on the vibrant local economies now springing up like mushrooms in the shadow of globalization. Deep Economy fills you with a hope and a sense of fresh possibility."-Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma "How is our nation going to cope with global warming, peak oil, inequality, and a growing sense of isolation? Bill McKibben provides the simple but brilliant answer the economists have missed-we need to create 'depth' through local interdependence and sustainable use of resources. I will be requiring this inspiring book for my students, and passionately recommending it to everyone else I know."-Juliet Schor, professor of sociology, Boston College, and author of The Overspent American "Bill McKibben works on the frontiers of new understandings and returns with his startling and lucid revelations of the possible future. A saner human-scale world does exist-just over the horizon-and McKibben introduces us to the people and ideas leading us there."-William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism : Opening Paths to a Moral Economy "Masterfully crafted, deeply thoughtful and mind-expanding. . . . An incisive critique of the unintended consequences of our…growth-oriented economy."- Los Angeles Times "A hopeful manifesto."- Boston Globe "What makes McKibben's book stand out is the completeness of his arguments and his real-world approach to solutions."- USA Today "McKibben is a fitting prophet… [His] dexterity as a keen observer and stellar wordsmith makes Deep Economy well worth reading."- The Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Wise and…optimistic."- The Courier-Journal of Louisville "McKibben's proposals for new, less growth-centered ways of thinking about economics are intriguing, and offer hope that change is possible."- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "[McKibben] ably argues [that] growth has increased inequality and decreased human happiness."- Kirkus Reviews, "I'd like to see Deep Economy read in every Econ 101 class.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
