Product Description

"Now what will we do for timber, with the last of the woods laid low?" With these words, the poet recalls forests on which generations of people had relied for their livelihoods being cut down. In the 21st century, many people all over the world are asking the same question: What about the future? FEASTA, a Dublin-based think-tank whose English name is the Foundation for Economics of Sustainability, was founded to ask such critical questions and to find answers to them. Many of the crucial changes that have to be made to bring about a sustainable future lie in the field of economics - in the money system and the tax system, for example. One of FEASTA's main roles is to build up a body of creative thinking about, understanding of, and support for the economic systems that must replace neo-liberalism. Contributors include Herman Daly, David Korten, James Robertson, Lothar Mayer and Aubrey Meyer.
