There is a fundamental flaw in contemporary market economics, says Robinson (economics and finance, Queensland U. of Technology), that encourages people to work and consume too much and to enjoy too little leisure. He argues that the flaw places unreasonable and unsustainable demands on the environment, indeed that overwork and environmental degradation reinforce each other over time, leading society ever further from the optimum. He writes primarily for non-economists, who are generally the most engaged with debates about such issues. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
