Beyond Economics and Ecology

The Radical Thought of Ivan Illich

by Ivan Illich
Contributor: Sajay Samuel, Penn State University (Volume Editor)

This volume  resonates with contemporary political discourse in the U.S. and many developed nations  with its focus on the relationships between  employment, prosperity and sustainable and affordable energy.  In four essays, Illich lays explains his theories on the effectiveness of cars, air travel, and energy use, arguing that industrial progress  and overly engineered methods of transport often actually end up  hampering our speed and effectiveness.
