Product Description
Written in Wendell Berry's trademark graceful, back-to-the-basics style, Berry's latest collection of essays addresses the pressing problem of contemporary financial structures. There is no vocabulary more given to obfuscation than that of the academics and professionals working with economics. Berry's clear, accessible prose is a much-needed antidote - in a collection of essays written over the course of 25 years, he argues that clarity has all but disappeared in the world of economics, leading to the current economic fiasco.
Review
Praise for What Matters?
"The reasoned and insistent exhortations of a man with a cause who, rather than mellowing with age and wisdom, continues to grow in forcefulness and vision." Booklist
Praise for Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community
"Read it with pencil in hand, make notes, and hope that somehow our country and the world will soon come to see the truth that is told here." The New York Times Book Review
Berry once again carves out a unique position in American social debate: not liberal (he hates big government), not conservative (he hates big corporations), not libertarian (he would balance individual rights with those of the commonwealth), but always sharp-tongued and aglow with common sense.” Kirkus Reviews
