The Wealth of Nature: Economics as If Survival Mattered

John Michael Greer is the author of numerous books, dozens of articles and a weekly blog.

His blog, The Archdruid Report, has become one of the most widely cited online resources dealing with peak oil and the future of industrial society.

The author considers his traditional audience --adult, male, college educated, Internet savvy readers concerned about peak oil--will be interested, but this will also be a more mainstream book, geared to a broader audience interested in environmental issues.

The sales hook of the book is this: The ongoing US economic downturn is proving the author’s thesis on why nobody can make the economy work. The old solution of throwing money in all directions is not viable. The root cause is the disconnected relationship between the productive economy and the natural world. This book analyzes the mistakes of contemporary economics, and proposes public policy initiatives and personal choices that will sustain us.

The author is a frequent public speaker, has been on over 100 radio shows, and has had numerous reviews of his previous books.

The author will be promoting his book online, via his blog and other venues.
