Publisher's Synopsis
Not until humanity discovered the true nature of disease did we begin resolving our most serious health crises. We lack an equivalent understanding of the nature of our economy, putting not only ourselves in jeopardy, but the ecosystems upon which we rely. Atop thirty years of work and research in ecology, economics, and business, Giordanengo describes the core structure of our economy, as never seen before, while shedding light on the universal rules of ecosystems and economies. From our collective knowledge of ecological restoration, this book informs how we may restore our economies to a highly functional and sustainable state. If you believe ecosystems cannot possibly hold the clues to economic restoration, may this book inspire you to think again.
Reviewers have said that if you care about the environment, you don't want to miss reading this book, and that it appeals to a wide range of people across ages, values, and political beliefs, and will change the way we live our lives. And that this book is about hope. In my own words, humanity must take immediate action to restore our economies, to fulfill the needs of every human life and protect the health of the ecosystems upon which our lives depend. My only hope in writing this book was that it might help guide and support those efforts. Happy reading.
John H. Giordanengo
