What Do Greens Believe?

An informative and readable account of the history of green beliefs. The book traces the emergence of the movement in the 1970s, but also refers to pioneers like Morris, Emerson and Thoreau. Smith outlines deep ecology and eco-feminism, and the way in which Greens consider the Earth as a system. He asks if green thinking can change the world (this includes green democracy and green technology), concluding like Jonathan Porritt than dreams must now start to deliver the message of well-being, putting the eco back into economics.
