Description
Robin Wall Kimmerer is an indigenous scientist and professor of environmental biology at the State University of New York. This slim volume, easily read inside a couple of hours, is bursting with ideas and observations. Its central thesis is that we live in a world of abundance, rather than scarcity, as asserted in mainstream economics. Accepting that there are times of genuine scarcity, Robin asserts that “it is manufactured scarcity that I cannot accept. In order for capitalistic market economics to function, there must be scarcity where it does not actually exist” (p79).
