The bestselling author of The End of Nature issues an impassioned call to arms for an economy that creates community and ennobles our lives

In this powerful and provocative manifesto, Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. For the first time in human history, he observes, "more" is no longer synonymous with "better"--indeed, for many of us, they have become almost opposites. McKibben puts forward a new way to think about the things we buy, the food we eat, the energy we use, and the money that pays for it all. Our purchases, he says, need not be at odds with the things we truly value.

McKibben's animating idea is 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 food, generating more of their own energy, and even creating more of their own culture and entertainment. He shows this concept blossoming around the world with striking results, from the burgeoning economies of India and China to the more mature societies of Europe and New England. For those who worry about environmental threats, he offers a route out 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 larger community.

McKibben offers a realistic, if challenging, scenario for a hopeful future. Deep Economy makes the compelling case that the more we nurture the essential humanity of our economy, the more we will recapture our own.

Very sexy sunglasses!
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Rose Gold & Rose
I loooove these! I would rate 5 star, but the lens developed a small crack by the earpiece, after only a few moths of wearing them. They were not dropped, so I’m not sure why they’re cracked.

Look good
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Gold
Only 3 stars because they came with no case, just a soft bag. They look good though.

Nice Style!
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Gold
I had a pair of these years ago, and they were gold trimmed. The gold trim was around the outer frame of the glasses, and I really liked them and got many compliments on them. Those became scratched, and I was unable to use them so I did a quick search to find them again. These come and gold are rose, gold trim, and I ordered a pair of each expecting what I had before. I was sad to see that the quality didn’t seem to match what I had before, and the trim was on the inside instead of the outside, which I don’t understand. I also noticed that the ware seems to get looser the more times I wear them. They are harder to keep on my ears.

Comfortable and Cute
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Rose Gold & Rose
Very comfortable and doesn't slide down my nose. Got several compliments while I was on vacation. Even after wearing most of the day they didn't hurt my ears.
