'Leading green economist Molly Scott Cato argues that science presents irrefutable evidence that the present economic system poses threats to the sustainability of the earth's ecosystems. Rather than impose limits and restrictions on resource use, she calls for the re-enchantment of our relationship with the biospher through imaginative creativity.''Although written with an academic market in mind, this work is far from being a dull, negative critique of the finance-dominated global economy. On the contrary, it is packed with insights into workable alternatives.' - Frances Hutchinson, The Social Artist, Spring 2014.
