Fair Economics - Irene H Schoene

Ex library book in excellent condition!

Have you ever questioned our economic model? Wondered how the financial crash was able to happen? Thought about what we can do stop it happening again?

Modern economics bases its view of the world on assumptions Adam Smith made about nature and people nearly three hundred years ago, in a time when people travelled by horse and carriage and wrote by the light of candles. We now live in a globally connected, post-industrial world of digital communication and advanced technology – and yet, our economic model remains stuck in the past.

Taking a thorough look at economics, including the history and how we reached our current way of thinking, Irene Schoene puts forward an alternative economics that is not only relevant to our modern world of technology and industry, but which also shows an awareness of environmental considerations.

Read this to be enlightened about how economics can be considerate of our environmental situation.
