The Ecology of Commerce

BUSINESS/ECOLOGY "This is, in my view, the first extensive, truly ecological analysis of business; deeply disturbing and yet full of hope. Essential reading for all who care about our planet." -Frhjof Capra, author of The Tao of Physics "Its sheer volume of new ideas coupled with Hawken's elegant style of disdosure makes almost all business books pale beside it. The tonnage of new publications on environmental degradation and what to do about it reflects increasing concern, but rarely has that concern been so productively expressed." -Michael pellecchia, Dallas Morning News "The Ecology of Commerce is so stunningly visionary yet eminently practical that liberals and conservatives embrace it alike. Hawken looks at things with fresh eyes. His vision is neither left nor right, but way up front." -Eric Utne, Editor-in-Chief, Utne Reader "This book, like the vision of capitalism it describes, is gentle, healing, restorative, and quietly eloquent.

It will not make you richer, smarter, or more charismatic. It will merely challenge you to reexamine everything you believe about business as it is currently practiced, how we create meaning in our lives, and the fabric of the legacy we are weaving for our children. No doubt some businesspeople will read this book and think it describes a future that is threatening and foreboding. I think it describes a present that is exhilarating and ennobling. The Ecology of Cmmerce is nothing less than an economic and cultural masterpiece, by the poet laureate of American capitalism." -george Gendron, Editor-in-Chief, he. "Environmentalists usually assume business is the enemy and vice versa. If Hawken is right, and he's got a good track record, the environmental perspective is the only way business will prosper, and business may be the only way to achieve a healthy planet. This goes beyond the revolutionary to the essential. Must reading for eco freaks and pinstripes, and anyone else who cares about living." -amory and L. hunter lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute !ir ;hrf!B Paul Hawken is the author of The Next Economy and Growing a Business and coauthor of Seven Tomorrows: Toward a Voluntary History. He is the cofounder of several businesses, and lives in Sausalito, California. W §L pg | mm Vissza
