Deep Economy

the long version

"Notions of connection exist in society and in human imagination. Deep Economy offers a comparison of economic and ecological claims of supposed connectedness. Starting with an historical analysis of the ethical and economic thought of Aristotle and Adam Smith, representatives of the first and second waves of Enlightenment, this discussion clarifies the value of the term 'deep economy'." "Concern about current ecological problems often confronts us with the history, theories, and experiences of natural and spiritual connectedness. This book adds an indispensable factor. It urges us to take into serious account the actual state of economic affairs."--BOOK JACKET.
