IF YOU THINK creating enough well-paying jobs to retain America’s current living standard is challenging, it’s child’s play compared to what Paul Hawken says we must do next: convert to an economy that sustains rather than destroys the earth.

I HAD NEVER HEARD of E. F. Schumacher before reading this book. After reading it I am ready to nominate him for the Nobel Prize in economics.

BOOKS BY POLITICIANS tend to be boring, staff-produced efforts designed to display The Boss as a thoughtful public servant. What sets Fred Harris’ apart is his unique angle of vision. He is the only major politician who says publicly and indeed vociferously that American capitalism is a shuck.

The book’s thesis is that a political majority can be built by rallying workers, minorities and young people around a banner that reads: “Some institutions and people have too much money and power, most people have too little, and the first priority of politics must be to redress that imbalance.”

THE VERY RICH, as F. Scott Fitzgerald observed, are different from us. They have pelf and power, exclusive schools, luxurious watering holes and above all, an abiding interest in preserving the economic system that so generously rewards them.

NO OTHER economics book that I have read possesses the lucidity, grace or compassion of George’s classic. And while there are faults in George’s reasoning, and much of what he says has been blunted by the passage of time, what strikes the modern reader is how extremely pertinent this book remains.
