Sustainability Sutra addresses the pursuit of sustainability as the crucial point in our transformation from an industrial society to one with a successful ecology for its inhabitants. It explores in detail how this can be accomplished through an ecological global-growth strategy that converts economic growth into ecological improvement.
This book introduces concepts for building an ecological future in market economies and examines how the price system can send clear signals for sustainability. Combining ecological consumption taxation and new market and monetary rules can catalyze trillions of dollars of productive investment in a sustainable future.
Sustainability Sutra is not a dry economist’s tome but rather a meditative journey of self-discovery. It is a path and record of a writer's and reader's heart-way. By using the condensed and aphoristic Sutra form, Sustainability Sutra provocatively addresses both the heart and the mind as it points the way to moving from an afflicted present to a sustainable (and prosperous) future.
Sustainability Sutra is also a challenge to those who believe that neither markets, capitalism, or economic growth, under any circumstances, are compatible with ecological improvement. Sustainability Sutra dispels these myths and provides a plan for harnessing the power of our economic structures in the interest of creating a brighter future for generations to come.
