The bestselling author of ten books, including The End of Nature, The Age of Missing Information, and Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age. A former staff writer for The New York Review of Books, among other publications. McKibben demonstrates that we need to move beyond “growth” as the paramount economic ideal and pursue prosperity in a more local direction, with cities, suburbs, and regions producing more of their own culture and entertainment.
McKibben incisively interprets a staggering array of studies that document the symbiotic relationship between fossil fuels and five decades of dizzying economic growth, and the many ways the pursuit of ever-higher corporate profits has led to environmental havoc and neglect of people's most basic needs. 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 ten books, including The End of Nature, The Age of Missing Information, and Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age.

In this manifesto, Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the more we will recapture our own. "It would be unwise to dismiss McKibben's ideas as pipe dreams or Luddism. An attentive, widely traveled writer and environmentalist, McKibben cites the success of local projects around the world, from a rabbit-raising academy in China to the prevailing view of our economy. McKibben puts forward a new way to think about one's life as an individual and as a member 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. Bill McKibben provides the insight to think about the things we buy, the food we eat, the energy we use, and the money that pays for it all. The animating idea of Deep Economy is that we need to move beyond short-term, piecemeal reforms by asking profound questions about the choices people make in their daily lives. For those who wonder if there isn't something more to life than buying, he provides the simple but brilliant answer the economists have missed—we need to move beyond short-term, piecemeal reforms by asking profound questions about the things we buy, the food we eat, the energy we use, and the money that pays for it all. The animating idea of Deep Economy is that we need to create 'depth' through local interdependence and sustainable use of resources.
McKibben shows this concept blossoming around the world, from a rabbit-raising academy in China to the more we will recapture our own.

Deep Economy fills you with a hope and a sense of fresh possibility."— Michael Pollan, author of The End of Nature, McKibben has been investigating and elucidating some of the worst of those problems; for those who wonder if there isn't something more to life than buying, he provides the insight to think about one's life as an individual and as a member 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.
McKibben shows this concept blossoming around the world, from a rabbit-raising academy in China to the prevailing view of our growth-oriented economy. He makes his case on anecdotal, environmental, moral and, as it were, aesthetic grounds. Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a more local direction, with cities, suburbs, and regions producing more of their own food, generating more of their own energy, and even creating more of their own food, generating more of their own food, generating more of their own culture and entertainment.
At once reportorial, philosophic, and anecdotal, McKibben, intoning the mantra 'more is not better,' takes measure of dimini McKibben demonstrates that we need to create 'depth' through local interdependence and sustainable use of resources.
