How Much is Enough?: Buddhism, Consumerism, and the Human Environment
"This erudite collection sheds new light on the interplay of Buddhism and environmentalism. As a discipline, Buddhism and ecology encompasses precise scholarship and ardent calls to action. The contributors handle the complexities with aplomb." (Kenneth Kraft, author of The Wheel of Engaged Buddhism)"In this time of global environmental and economic crisis, Buddhism and ecology--Buddhist economics--have become topics of major interest. This outstanding collection of essays makes an important contribution to our normative and historical understanding of both areas." (Donald K. Swearer, co-author of Ecology and the Environment)"This collection of thoughtful essays sheds a great deal of light on our collective social, political, economic and environmental responsibilities to our planet and its inhabitants. Buddhism and ecology go hand in hand: the contributors are all Buddhist scholars, practitioners, and activists, determined to raise our consciousness. Very readable." (Mandala)
