About this listen

 Popular economics and human events blogger George Ure ("Dimensions Next Door", "Packing to Die" and "Psychocartography") is back with another refreshing perspective on the human condition.

Sure, there are too many people in the world. Tough on the planet and all. But Ure unleashes in his quirky thinking style and concludes population is only part of our curse. The balance of issues may be laid at the feet of slipshod goods from a manufacturing sector designed to make money at the expense of long-lived, smart humans.

As the book unfolds, you'll be schooled in how modern industry forces itself - and its accompanying burdens on the economy and environment (not to mention finance!) - on the whole of humanity by simply creating disposable lifestyles. The results are predictable: disposable humans. Where the "harder we work, the behinder we get...:"

As Ure told one reader, "Count how many computers you've owned and how many upgrades? Now contrast that with any change in your typing speed in the same period..."

Ure's logic is hard to fault. Business Ethics Conservation Environment Nature & Ecology Outdoors & Nature Science Workplace & Organizational Behavior
