Tomorrow's Economy: A Guide to Creating Healthy Green Growth Reviews

  A must read!
  
  Climate change “delayers” are as bad as climate change “deniers” admonishes the author. He highlights the need to address today the threat and not by playing the game of promising to achieve some hard to define goal years into the future.
  
  The book discusses the interrelationships amongst growth, income and wealth equality, and the productivity of environmental resources to achieve fair, healthy green growth. The innovation (of many) is his detailed methodology to measure at the enterprise and the broader macroeconomy-levels the degree of green and gray (the dark side) growth. The optimal outcome is green and fair (declining income inequality) growth. The opposite - and modern Russia is an example - is “degrowth” (declining GDP), increasing inequality, and an economic model that degrades the environment and contributes to global warming.
  
  The author acknowledges that achieving zero carbon levels is daunting. Limiting carbon footprints and increasing the productivity of the carbon we do generate is the practical approach. Each person can contribute!!!
  
  For all, send the link to this book (MIT press, but available on the usual on line sources) to your elected representatives and local news outlets. Suggest they read the book!!!!!
