Pick an environmental issue. Maybe air pollution, toxic waste, or deforestation. These all seem like solid choices, but none of these is actually an environmental problem—at least, not at its heart. Deep down, they are economic problems. Nearly all the issues we classify as environmental stem from defects in the DNA of America's current market system. This is emphatically true of our greatest environmental threat: global warming. With a focus on climate change, journalist and author Robert S. Devine reveals the fundamental flaws in the economy that enable environmental degradation.

This book should be required reading for any public official with an interest. Robert Devine has taken an incredibly complicated topic and condensed it into an exhaustively researched book that covers several of the main topics related to creating a sustainable economy. In doing so, he has covered economic theory, scientific publications, legal battles, market dynamics, principles of government, and social psychology, resulting in a book that fairly and rationally examines arguments on both sides of the political aisles. The book leaves the reader with a good understanding of the challenges that humanity faces and a blueprint for how to approach it.
In addition to the excellent material the book covers, Devine has also presented the information in accessible, witty prose. The book is easy to read and the technical aspects are distilled to parts that all readers can access. I highly recommend it.
