This vision would enable activists in many fields (social justice, civil liberties, and environmental protection), as well as many entrepreneurs and other members of civil society to work together much more effectively, make it more difficult to portray all these groups as dis.

  • "'Hoeschele superbly exposes the anatomy of scarcity that capitalism must constantly produce in order to be, and does so by masterfully generating desire for unneeded things. But he also offers a surprisingly feasible possibility to change our world of scarcity and unsustainable growth into the world of abundance and justice to nature and ourselves. A very timely and imaginative book.'-Marianna Pavlovskaya, Associate Professor of Geography, Hunter College and CUNY Graduate Center. --Book Jacket."

This book argues that, by analyzing how scarcity-generating institutions work and then reforming or dismantling them, we can enhance individual freedom and support entrepreneurial initiative, and at the same time make progress toward social justice and environmental sustainability by reducing demands on vital resources. This vision would enable activists in many fields (social justice, civil liberties, and environmental protection), as well as many entrepreneurs and other members of civil society to work together much more effectively, make it more difficult to portray all these groups as contradicts special interests, and thereby help generate momentum for positive change. Meanwhile, for ac 410 in many fields of study, the concept of the creation of scarcity or abundance may be a highly new analytical tool."
