Indra's Net and the Midas Touch: Living Sustainably in a Connected World

Exploring the intricate web of global interdependence, the book delves into how our actions lead to unforeseen repercussions, particularly in the realms of economics and environmental sustainability. Highlighting examples like Wall Street's risky investments and our reliance on fossil fuels, it emphasizes the critical first law of human ecology: that every action has multiple effects. Leslie Paul Thiele presents a thought-provoking examination of these themes, urging a reevaluation of our approach to sustainability in a connected world.
