Consumptionomics: Asia’s Role in Reshaping Capitalism and Saving the Planet, by Chandran Nair
An environmental consultant and founder of the Global Institute for Tomorrow think-tank, Nair is adamant that nothing good will come to any of us if success in the new economies of the east is defined by flashy, western-style consumption.
