Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future (2007) is written by one of the greatest environmental writers and activists in the United States, Bill McKibben. In Deep Economy, you will read about how our globalized economy has become addicted to the ideas of limitless economic growth and the endless consumption of goods. As McKibben defines it, a deep economy “cares less about quantity than quality and takes as its goal the production of human satisfaction as much as surplus material.”
