The Unsustainable Truth by David Ko

Is investing itself the problem?

Our lives are split between living every day and accumulating money for our future. We have over $100 trillion invested, more than the size of the global economy, and the planet can no longer produce enough to keep this growing. There is no other way to say it - our savings are killing the planet. But we need the money. We need it to support us as we age. We fear not having enough, of becoming destitute.

This book tells the stories of how we got here and why we are stuck. What can we do about it? How do we reimagine our future and choose between living for a pool of money or purposeful life?
