			<link>http://booktalk.yuku.com/topic/3302/t/Epilogue.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ McKibben was careful throughout the book to avoid strident self-righteous condemnation of our dominant economic system, without minimizing the actual threats arising from its principles and practices. In his epilogue he is clear about the very real dangers that accompany our way of life and the delusion of status quo economics.<br>

Dear Friends-<br>
