To read this book is to react with personal and social action. -- Ralph Nader As this wonderfully inspiring book makes clear, the failure of the United States to achieve energy independence, eliminate potential oil wars. ... Greed to Green brings home the fact that a people's movement to green the economy depends on creating a political system which subordinates the interests of big business to those of its citizens. -- Ross Gelbspan, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Heat Is On and Boiling Point Derber proposes a broad greening of our economy, politics and society, ingeniously relying on short term windows to enact long term changes. -- Juliet Schor, Professor of Sociology, Boston College, and author of Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth There's no way to solve climate change without also shifting, in profound ways, our idea of what constitutes success and growth and progress.
