reviewed For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy toward Community, the Environment, and a Sustainable Future on July 27, 2011 For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy toward Community, the Environment, and a Sustainable Future
Daly provides a 'blueprint' for a decentralized economy built around small communities and makes specific proposals, including a tax on industrial polluters, worker participation in management and ownership, reduced military spending and a more self-sufficient national economy, with a lower volume of imports. Intended mainly for economists, the book essentially deconstructs neoclassical economic theory and creates a more 'holistic' model that pulls together the idea of the individual, the community and the natural world. Daly discusses the problems with contemporary economic thought as well as suggested policy changes that would lead to an economic society based on community and ecology.
Reviews note that Daly provides a crucial "theoretical edge to the tenets of environmental faith." (Scott London) The book serves as a strong leader in a new way of thinking about economics that pays special tribute to the community, environment and future generations.
