The bestselling author of The End of Nature issues an impassioned call to arms for an economy that creates community and ennobles our lives

In this powerful and provocative manifesto, Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. For the first time in human history, he observes, "more" is no longer synonymous with "better"--indeed, for many of us, they have become almost opposites. McKibben puts forward a new way to think about the things we buy, the food we eat, the energy we use, and the money that pays for it all. Our purchases, he says, need not be at odds with the things we truly value.

McKibben's animating idea is that we need to move beyond "growth" as the paramount economic ideal and pursue prosperity in a more local direction, with cities, suburbs, and regions producing more of their own food, generating more of their own energy, and even creating more of their own culture and entertainment. He shows this concept blossoming around the world with striking results, from the burgeoning economies of India and China to the more mature societies of Europe and New England. For those who worry about environmental threats, he offers a route out of the worst of those problems; for those who wonder if there isn't something more to life than buying, he provides the insight to think about one's life as an individual and as a member of a larger community.

McKibben offers a realistic, if challenging, scenario for a hopeful future. Deep Economy makes the compelling case that the more we nurture the essential humanity of our economy, the more we will recapture our own.

Cute but clingy
Size: X-Large, Color: Coral Orange
The dress is bright orange which I love. It is cute, very plain, true to size... but sadly not for me because the material is clingy and shows all my "chubby rolls". I'm returning it.

Great choice for prom
Size: 12, Color: Black Patent, Size: 12, Color: Black Patent
These dress shoes were a great choice for my son's prom. They fit true to size and were comfortable enough for him to wear all evening. I was especially impressed by how durable they were. Between all the dancing, walking around, and the usual teenage shenanigans, they held up extremely well and still looked great afterward. The style was perfect for prom, and the quality exceeded our expectations. I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a sharp-looking, reliable pair of dress shoes for a special event.

Amazing dress shoes! 👞
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Classic Brown, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Classic Brown
These shoes are a 10/10! Our groomsmen loved them, very comfortable, and the color gradient is even better than pictured! They matched our groomsmen’s outfits perfectly as we got their entire outfit from Amazon. Water resistant and easy to wipe clean. The material is like a tough leather so it keeps its shape and has a professional and sleek appearance. Great value for your money! Would purchase again.

Good value and very clean stylish look.
Size: 9.5, Color: Classic Dark Brown
I REALLY like these shoes, for the price they are very comfortable and the materials seem pretty solid. I'm not an expert on quality stitching but these seem to be pretty good. I got them for my wedding and they looked fantastic. I now wear them to all sorts of fancy events and they are holding strong!
