Let's build the New Economy

Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE) has just issued a fresh report on developing a better economic blueprint, entitled Enough is Enough: Ideas for a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources. Click here to download a free copy of the report (130 pages), as well as a summary (10 pages). You will also find links to videos of keynote presentations from the conference.

In addition to reading the report, please share it with colleagues, friends and kindred spirits to start the much-needed and urgent discussion/debate about the transition to a steady state economy, and get a jump on the work ahead.

Thor has recently been appointed Country Director (Norway) for CASSE, so any of you Vikings out there, get in tough if you are interested in working for a steady state economy.

Thor's Hammer

Tormod Vaaland Burkey loves animals. With a vengeance. He has struggled since childhood with the difficulties of saving endangered species, the natural world, the habitats of other species, and the beautiful places on earth, from the greed and stupidity of humans. He has a PhD in ecology and conservation biology from Princeton University. He is an environmental activist, a birder, a diver, and a sea kayaker, who longs to experience wildlife untrammeled by habitat degradation and persecution. He lives in a cabin on the banks of the river Glomma, in Norway, with “his” cat, Kitty, and writes for a diversity of outlets.
