– In this book Jagers continues with his discussion about the connection between liberalism and sustainable development, which he started in his PhD-thesis Justice, Liberty and Bread - For All? The book is interesting as liberalism is not the direct ideology one thinks of when it comes to ecological values. More people probably think of anarchism, Marxism, feminism and socialism, but Jagers succeeds in his argumentation that liberalism also can take ecological values in consideration. This is a book for people who are intersted in the environment and who wants to be challenged in their opinion which political ideology is the most ecofriendly.

Summing Up: RECOMMENDED. Graduate Students and faculty.»
