The Economics of Enough
The Economics of Enough: How to Run the Economy as If the Future Matters
by Diane Coyle
In this book economist Diane Coyle gives us a thoughtful, thorough, and somber account of the West’s, and the world’s, ecological and economic problems. Coyle correctly observes that these cannot be divorced from political and social problems; it is not enough to diagnose difficulties and then offer remedies that are politically unachievable. Instead, Coyle offers useful suggestions that might be implemented—if not by current governments then at least by imaginable governments. In doing all this, Coyle has done us a real service. And yet there is an important piece missing from Coyle’s analysis, without which it is hard to envision a way out of our current predicaments.
