Reviews

Industrial nations that favor economic growth over ecological consciousness led Cobb and Daly to devise these counteractive plans. PW called this ``a detailed, far-reaching blueprint for a highly decentralized economy. . . . The authors' important, radical critique of contemporary economic thinking in the book's dry first half leads to specific proposals in the second.''
