“An excellent guide to one of the most deliberately mystified
fields of human endeavor. If you ever wondered what all those words
and concepts mean, this is the book to turn to.” —Doug
Henwood
“Joel Magnuson notes an irreconcilable conflict between capitalist
financial growth and environmental sustainability. He finds hope,
however, in a kind of evolutionary socialism that he calls Mindful
Economics. How lucky for us if politicians picked up this book …
Then they may even help us save the planet.” —Barbara Garson
“A lovely and provocative introduction to American capitalism that
I wish every American would read.” —Robert W. McChesney
