Enough Is Enough

We're overusing the Earth's finite resources, and yet excessive consumption is failing to improve our lives. In Enough Is Enough, Rob Dietz and Dan O'Neill lay out a visionary but realistic alternative to the perpetual pursuit of economic growth — an economy where the goal is not more but enough.

They explore specific strategies to conserve natural resources, stabilise population, reduce inequality, fix the financial system, create jobs, and more — all with the aim of maximising long-term wellbeing instead of short-term profits. Filled with fresh ideas and surprising optimism, Enough Is Enough is the primer for achieving genuine prosperity and a hopeful future for all.

“This lucid, informed, and highly constructive book shows that with the will to act, solutions can be found to build an economy geared to meeting human needs.”

 —Noam Chomsky

“Rob Dietz and Dan O'Neill bring clarity and style to their impassioned and meticulous analysis, offering the way to a better quality of life and a sustainable future for all.”

“Dietz and O'Neill create a remarkable vision — a world with enough prosperity and happiness for everyone, not just for a few. This book will restore your hope in the future and give you specific things you can do to help!”

—Thom Hartmann, internationally syndicated talk show host and author of twenty-four books
