For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy Toward Community, the Environment, and a Sustainable Future
As critics of mainstream economic theory, Daly and co-author John B. Cobb Jr. conclude that economic growth is no longer a valid measurement of economic achievement.   Because of energy, pollution, and population concerns, they suggest a new measure for the economy... the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare.

Mr. Daly seems to have roots more in the Political and social Left than we do here at The Agrarian Foundation. Therefore, like many Marxists of old he is sometimes far stronger and insightful on 'Critique' than he is on 'Solution'. We here at The Agrarian Foundation are happy to see him champion some form of Landed property, Localism and sustainable self-reliance at the 'Communitarian' level of social life. However, he does sometimes fall back into the trap of trading the dominance of Big-Business (Multi-National Corporations) -- for the dubious solution of Big Government. Nevertheless, his critique of the Modern status-quo, and his solutions are very simulating and helpful, and make him worth reading carefully.'
