Eggert, James
Alarmed by the disappearance of meadowlarks from the fields near his home, Eggert embarked on a study of the economic and ecological factors involved. He concludes that the meadowlark's survival is a metaphor for ours, linked to the same interplay of economics, culture, technology and spirituality. Our environment, he discovers, is in fact a vital part of our economy. A Foreword by environmentalist Bill McKibben and an Afterword by Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hahn add context to this authoritative supplement to current economics texts. 144 pp.
