Using Gifford Pinchot's idea that the economy's purpose is "the greatest good for the greatest number over the longest run," Batker compares the performance of the U.S. economy with that of other industrial countries in terms of providing a high quality of life, fairness and ecological sustainability, concluding that when you do the numbers, we come out near the bottom in nearly every category. Batker shines a humorous light on such economic buzzwords as "productivity" and "consumer sovereignty" while offering ideas for "capitalism with a human face," a new economic paradigm that meets the real needs of people and the planet"--Container. 650 0 $a Gross domestic product $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 2009- 655 0 $a Nonfiction films. 655 0 $a Documentary films. 655 0 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. 655 0 $a Feature films. 655 7 $a Feature films $z United States. $2 local. 655 0 $a DVD-Video discs. 700 1 $a De Graaf, John. $4 drt. $4 drt. 700 1 $a Batker, David. $4 nrt. 710 2 $a Fox Wilmar Productions. 710 2 $a Earth Economics (Firm) 710 2 $a Bullfrog Films. 941 $a 2 945 $a dvv 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230720013656.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20110115010952.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FC08FD0207511E0B4E88B876AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
