Within this funny, thought-provoking book based on the popular film of the same name, activists John de Graaf (coauthor of the best-selling Affluenza) and David Batker take on 13 economic issues, challenging the listener to consider the point of our economy. Emphasizing powerful American ideals, including teamwork, pragmatism, and equality, de Graaf and Batker established a simple goal for any economic system: The greatest good for the best number within the longest run. Drawing from record and current corporations, we see how the good life is achieved when people and market segments work together with a dynamic government to create a more perfect economy - one that works for everyone. Start by shattering our fetish for GDP, What's the Economy For, Anyway? offers a brand new perspective on standard of living, health, security, work-life balance, leisure, public justice, as well as perhaps most significant, sustainability. This sparkling, message-driven book is just what those lost in the doldrums of partisan sniping and a sluggish economy need: helpful information from what really issues, and a map to using America's resources to make the world a much better place.
