"Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy" by Peter G Brown from McGill University School of Environment and Geoffrey Garver

In Right Relationship, Peter G. Brown and Geoffrey Garver use the core Quaker principle of "right relationship"--respecting the integrity, resilience, and beauty of human and natural communities--as the foundation for a new economic model. Right Relationship poses five basic questions: What is an economy for? How does it work? How big is too big? What's fair? And how can it best be governed?

"Managing Without Growth: Slower by Design, Not Disaster" by Peter A. Victor

Peter Victor challenges the priority that rich countries continue to give to economic growth as an over-arching objective of economic policy. The challenge is based on a critical analysis of the literature on environmental and resource limits to growth, on the disconnect between higher incomes and happiness, and on the failure of economic growth to meet other key economic, social and environmental policy objectives. Moreover, economic growth has not brought full employment, eliminated poverty or reduced the burden of the economy on the environment.
