This book presents a consistent theory about sustainability. The theory is comprehensive. The problem is the ideas make no sense unless you buy into his vary carefully crafted logical foundation developed in the first part of the book.All of this analysis rests on his redefinition of what energy really is. He also explains why market driven economics cannot be used to achieve sustainability; but he does this by first setting up a straw "person" that represents contemporary neoclassical microeconomics.Al of this leads to the main idea that sustainability can be achieved only by some benevolent super state.To accept his system you have to accept his redefinition of economics; I don't.You also have to accept his secularist version of what the social good is. I don't.If you are a democratic socialist you will love this.
