5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent combination of economics and environmentalism!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Song of the Meadowlark: Exploring Values for a Sustainable Future (Paperback)
Jim Eggert weaves a simple yet compelling story of why we should highly value our environment in determining the economic well-being of our society. He highlights how the GDP (gross domestic product) does not account for the value of the wonderful song of the meadowlark when a change in farm crop harvesting (which does positively increase our GDP) wipes out the meadowlarks brooding habitat. This example, along with many other delightful essays, make this book a fantastic read.
