The green capitalists, 4. Manufactured scarcity, 5. Green consumerism, 6. The economy of wasting time, 7. Green imperialism, 8. Environmental economics, 9. Green socialism?, 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skeptical about environmentalism, 3 Dec 2008
By Mr. A. R. Hirst "ferraris for all" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a great read for anyone who is perturbed by the mainstreaming of eco-thinking. The author elaborates on some great insights into what the age of green capitalism means for us all.
