Our Second Chance
The world is finally waking up: millions are calling for change.
They know what the problems are, but what to do now?
Ecological economics has pioneered powerful systems for solving our greatest environmental and financial challenges. Yet change is not happening fast enough to defuse the looming disasters.
Our Second Chance delves into the heart of the value crisis that prevents us from taking the action that is so urgently needed. By constantly using values measured by number to define our success, humanity is headed for trouble. This work shares practical strategies to re-empower human values, restoring some balance to our lives and society.
Using anecdotes from his own lived experience to illustrate the best ideas from ecological economics, Andrew Welch breaks through with solutions both fantastic and fantastical – and they’ve been proven to actually work.
By taking effective action now, we may not only bring more joy into our lives… we might save our world at the same time.
