Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable<\/em> Future<\/em> (2007) is written by one of the greatest environmental writers and activists in the United States, Bill McKibben.\u00a0 In Deep Economy, <\/em>you will read about how our globalized economy has become addicted to the ideas of limitless economic growth and the endless consumption of goods.\u00a0 As McKibben defines it, a deep economy \u201ccares less about quantity than quality and takes as its goal the production of human satisfaction as much as surplus material.<\/p>\n Deep Economy asserts that what we eat, what we drive, where we live and what we feel are all related to how we use or misuse the earth\u2019s resources.\u00a0 This powerful book will make you think about how you live your life every day and will challenge you to think about how you can make a difference in our world.<\/p>\n Stay tuned for details on availability of Deep Economy at the Library Media Center and a\u00a0Deep Economy<\/em> forum\u00a0\u00a0in April.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n BC Reads!
