An Economy of Want

This book, written by an engineer not an economist, aims to provide a straightforward explanation of how our economy operates and why it fails to solve such problems, or worse, actually creates them. It’s not a book about an 'alternative' economy, but an alternative economics analysis of the existing economy. You could read it with no intention of changing anything. But of course most of us do want to solve these problems, so there is a second part that considers what sorts of changes we would have to make to get a fairer and more sustainable economy, and one that most people would hopefully find a happier and more fulfilling one to live in.
