ADVANCE PRAISE FOR

The Wealth of Nature

John Michael Greer has done something that desperately needs doing, for all our sakes: he has re-thought economics, starting from its fundamental premises, giving it a basis in ecological reality rather than political fiction. In doing so, he acknowledges his predecessors (principally, E. F. Schumacher), while contributing his own wry verbal style and impressive knowledge of history. The result is perhaps the most important and readable book on economics since Small Is Beautiful.

— Richard Heinberg, author of The End of Growth

Economics has often been called the dismal science, not the least because it is a boring read. John Michael Greer has changed all that. His Wealth of Nature is a romp through the past, present and then the very near future, fribbling iconoclasticly with Adam Smith, E.F. Schumacher and Nouriel Roubini. Anyone who does not believe or comprehend why civilization is collapsing, or would enjoy hearing it told well, should read this excellent rendering.

— Albert Bates, author of The Post Petroleum Survival Guide and Cookbook and The Biochar Solution

John Michael Greer writes with unsurpassed clarity about the predicaments of energy and economy mankind faces. And he does it with a wonderfully kind, genial, and wise spirit. This is the must-read book for anyone who wishes to make it through the coming turbulence.

— James Howard Kunstler, author of

The Long Emergency and World Made by Hand
