Natural Capitalism
by Amory Lovins, L. Hunter Lovins & Paul Hawken
This was a huge inspiration for Thomas Friedman’s recent book, Hot Flat And Crowded, and talks about social economics and bureaucratic systems and how we need to re-engineer them completely for the 21st century. Amory Lovins is approaching this problem set as one which is primarily environmental, addressing the need to take care of scarce resources on the planet and suggesting how we might reconfigure our systems with that goal in mind.
