Enough Is Enough

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Do you ever have those moments when you are going about your business and then, apropos of nothing, are gripped with an existential horror by the question: Considering the ever-increasing rate of human extraction, can our world exist into the future? You shudder at what you think to be the answer. But authors Dean Dettloff and Matt Bernico have good news for people like you and me: There is hope for the future. But this hope comes with one important caveat: We must recognize, as the authors do, that "what we need most is that which capitalism needs least, a relationship to the world that is not fundamentally oriented toward growth." Therefore, to ensure that the world and all that is in it continue, we must overcome capitalism and envision a new economic order. Enough Is Enough is an engaging argument for simplicity built on joy and an economy built on a freedom that can only be achieved through placing ultimate value on loving our neighbors and creation. When I reached the end of the book, which is a deft combination of journalism, theology, and hope-filled writing, I ironically found myself saying, "More! More! More!"”
