ECONOMICOLOGY II HITS THE BOOKSTORES
ECONOMICOLOGY II continues and updates the mission of Wege’s first book published in 1998, ECONOMICOLOGY: The Eleventh Commandment. In both books, Peter has drawn upon environmental experts who have most influenced his thinking and affirmed his philosophy of economicology. Peter coined the word two decades ago to summarize his belief that we must strike a balance between our economy and our ecology.
In his book, Peter reviews writers such as his old friend and environmental hero, the late John Gardner, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and best selling-journalist Thomas Friedman, all of whom support the argument that in order to promote our economy, we must take care of our natural resources.
As with his first book on economicology, Peter M. Wege hopes the excerpts he shares in his new book will entice readers to read these environmental experts’ books. The bibliography at the back of ECONOMICOLOGY II lists the writers he quotes as well as other authors who have contributed to Wege’s philosophy.
When Peter M. Wege started The Wege Foundation, he posed the hypothetical question, “Is the planet worth saving?” This book, like his philanthropy, answers that question with power and with hope but, like the experts in his book, urges the public to act now.
This book provides a call for action to the public and suggests using the knowledge of our greatest scientific and environmental minds to save the very planet that we call home. In ECONOMICOLOGY II author and great-grandfather, Peter Wege, confirms that the Earth is worth saving simply because “We owe it to all those who come after us.”
