Shoveling Fuel for a Runaway Train: Errant Economists, Shameful Spenders, and a Plan to Stop Them All Paperback - 2002
by Brian Czech
From the publisher
First line
"We should double the rate of growth, and we should double the size of the American economy!"
From the rear cover
"Czech has given us a fine mix of economics and ecology, tempered with a lot of common sense."--Herman E. Daly, author of Valuing the Earth: Economics, Ecology, and Ethics
"Czech's book occupies a unique niche by combining a critique of standard economics, a plea for a less excessive lifestyle, and extremely interesting insights from a wildlife biologist. Furthermore, Czech has written a popular book, doing a good job of maintaining an accessible style while presenting detailed information and documentation. A good book for students as well as for the general public, Shoveling Fuel will be more, not less, relevant in the years to come."--John M. Gowdy, co-author of Paradise for Sale: A Parable of Nature
"Talk of economic sustainability is bogus if not based on ecological principles and environmental realities. Although Czech shows why in a hilarious fashion, this is a serious book about a serious topic. Czech's clarion call for a 'steady state revolution'--what it is and how to bring it about--offers the only hope for real sustainability. This is a fascinating and convincing read."--David L. Trauger, Senior Staff Biologist, U.S. Geological Survey
