"This is a must-read book about coming major disruptions in Capitalism that will rival the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in both impact and opportunity. Highly recommended FOR ALL AGES OF READERS. In my opinion, two of the biggest things humanity faces today are climate change and a need to reinvent Capitalism. This book provides a road-map for both that is urgently needed. A must read! - Bill Johnston, Former President of the NYSE, retired investor, CONCERNED grandfather No futurist has been as focused on the climate crisis for as long or loudly as David Houle. The future David envisioned decades ago is now a reality that most of the world understands. The clear and present global danger demands that we shift from advocacy to activism. As David writes, "We can't flee... there's nowhere to go. Our fight is here and now." Moving to a Finite Earth Economy shares practical guidance for both individual and societal action. His innovative and brilliant solutions empower us to face down the existential threat of climate crisis through the prism of reinventing Capitalism. If you know someone, and we all do, who needs to move from advocacy to action on climate justice, share David's book and advice. - Jack Myers, Founder MyersBizNet/MediaVillage "In Moving to a Finite Earth Economy - Crew Manual, Futurist David Houle takes a bold and courageous step to define the climate crisis not as one future trend of interest, but as the defining challenge of this moment in human history. We have 10 years to act, he argues. This trilogy offers a simple, clear, and prescriptive call to fight. It will challenge your complacency and any comfortable hope you may harbor that everything will work out fine through market forces or gradualism. Few thought leaders, and even fewer Futurists, are willing to lay it on the line like Houle does in this book. It may change everything." - Glen Hiemstra, futurist, author, speaker and founder of www.futurist.com. "Houle has written a book that takes climate change literature to its next logical post-denial stage; that of prescribing what humanity needs to do to reduce fossil fuels by 2030. We must move to action and this book provides a road map for humanity. Highly recommended!" - John Englander, Oceanographer, Author of "High Tide on Main Street" http: //www.johnenglander.net "For those concerned about climate change and global warming, this book is a superb source of information and of something more - short, snappy sentences ready-made to be slogans, compelling slogans. It also shows you how global warming fits into the history of the planet, and how your everyday habits fit into the big picture." - Howard Bloom, philosopher, polymath and author. http: //www.howardbloom.net/ "This is not a polemic from environmentalists asking you to please care about their pet issue. This is straight talk on what humanity needs to do to handle this existential challenge, undoubtedly the most important problem facing the world right now. Well-written, concise, backed up with sound research, Moving to a Finite Earth Economy tells it like it really is. It doesn't shy away from stating the hard truths of a climate-changed world, while at the same time recognizing that such a world, and our adaptation to it, contains significant opportunity for positive and fulfilling changes in our society." - Dr. Sean Munger, author "The Warmest Tide", historian, lawyer, public speaker Moving to a
Synopsis
"Moving to a Finite Earth Economy - Crew Manual" is a book that, in an all-inclusive way, outlines what humanity needs to do to successfully address the root cause of our climate emergency. When it comes to climate change, the past doesn't equal the future. What is happening now has never occurred during humanity's time on Earth. Who better than a futurist to address this? Futurist David Houle immersed himself in all facets of global warming and climate change over the past four years. He spent two years researching, writing and co-authoring "This Spaceship Earth". What he learned in that process prompted Houle to cofound a global nonprofit: thispaceshipearth.org. As a result, Houle was invited to speak at the EPA, at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and at numerous other environmental gatherings and conferences around the globe. Houle wrote, "It is my fundamental responsibility as a futurist to be right about the future, and to offer possible suggestions on how best to navigate it. This book does just that for the existential threat that is climate change." This is NOT another long, dense, difficult to read book arguing about whether climate change is real. It accepts that it is, that it is caused by us, and sets forth what we must do. The need for URGENCY is reinforced throughout the book. Houle has no qualms about stating the facts as he sees them. We have until 2030 and we haven't a minute to waste. Houle and his co-author, Bob Leonard, make the case for humanity to move to a Finite Earth Economy as fully as possible by 2030. They discuss the new metrics and technologies needed to advance from here to there. Houle and Leonard provide clarity as to what must be done at all levels of humanity from global corporations and nation state governments all the way to individuals. This book also deals with two major issues rarely covered in climate change literature: population management and strategic retreat. This book answers the question: "What can we do to successfully prevail over climate change?" The time for dealing with denial is over. Now is the time to focus on solutions... solutions that impact every facet of modern life. For those of you who are ready to do something about climate change, this book will help you walk your talk. "Moving to a Finite Earth Economy" is a clear-eyed look at what's coming, and what we can do about it.

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
