Wryly's Reviews > The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems

Great ideas happening here, but not as implementable as I wish they were or as universal as the author believes them to be.
I wonder about his views on education...
I would recommend it to lots of academics however who sometimes forget to make the connection between revolutionary ideals and the people who cannot always afford to understand or interact with those ideals (throughout western history revolution has always come from the middle class). I appreciated the acknowledgment that we cannot assume all people have certain resources to work with (money the "green" their homes and neighborhoods, safe soil to plant gardens) and respect the ambitions of this book. I would've like more specifics though, as some ideas get ridiculous in practical human terms (like his idea of food sustainability which would basically require us to stop consuming coffee and other foreign foods). I expect that Jones has fleshed out these ideas but this book is something he wanted to be reader-friendly (at which he greatly succeeds) so I think things might've gotten a bit watered down...
Definitely written for Americans.
