U S A: New Society Pub, 1989. Paperback. The Poverty of Affluence. Crease to front cover. Slight foxing to edge. This book asks whether bigger is in fact better, whether growth means more of us can live 'the good life'. The author examines the psychological underpinnings of our insatiable desire for growth. He suggests that our commitment to consumption is in fact an increasingly desperate attempt to replace the sense of community that our very growth has torn apart. Ironically, no amount of things can ever meet the mon-material needs formerly met by communmitity. Tragically, our rush for these things is destroying our whole world. 316 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). 1st Paperback Edition. Soft Cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Paperback.

Contents appears as unread & unblemished in wraps displaying minimal surface/edge wear, as shown. Last page displays a fold/crease near spine, obviously done in the binding process.
The author explores many practical alternatives to a growth-oriented economy. But his central offering is the simple, intriguing idea that lifting our eyes from the bottom line and focusing as well on the pleasures and possibilities inherent in activities and choices that cannot be bought will at once help make our lives happier and our society more ecologically sound and economically just.
