I just rememberd a book I read a couple of months ago and definitely thought I should mention it. It’s Bill McKibben‘s Deep Economy and it’s a very interesting read.
Basically, the book is a fast-paced manifesto taking a look at the shape and size of present-day economics – especially the American model. While it’s no scientifically conducted reasearch, I think it’s really elegant in connecting the dots bewteen people’s values and perception of wealth or happiness and the way these have become reflected and, most of all, shaped by patterns of production and consumption.
Give it a read and give it a thought, it’s both enjoyable and thought provoking.
