Unearthed: The Economic Roots of Our Environmental Crisis

摘要

Kenneth Sayre's new book is a comprehensively ambitious, provocative, and by and large compelling analysis of the roots of the global environmental crisis. Sayre attributes the causes of our deepening environmental crisis to the global economic system and its relentless need for insatiable economic growth. Sayre begins by explaining the grave ecological crisis threatening the world through a review of thermodynamic and ecological principles and then explains how the needs of the expanding global economic system inevitably come into conflict with ecological limits of life on Earth.
