In his new book Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future (Times Books), author and environmentalist Bill McKibben, challenges the prevailing economic view that "more is better" and urges us to move beyond growth as the paramount economic ideal. McKibben proposes we pursue prosperity in a more local direction, with cities, suburbs, and regions producing more of what they consume like food, energy and even culture, on a local level. The author joins Larry Mantle to talk about his new economic vision.
