Cache: Creating Natural Economies

By Spencer Beebe ’68. Ecotrust Publications, 2010. Beebe’s central message is that both traditional economics and traditional conservation have failed to deliver “reliable prosperity.” He suggests that neither will succeed in doing so until they are grounded in principles found in nature. Cache is the story both of how Beebe arrived at this conviction and of how it operates in the lives of real people grappling with real problems in the places they call home.
