The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.
Delivering a powerful message that is moving, hopeful, and urgent, Cathrine Sneed shows that bringing people out of the jails and off the streets into the garden can be transformative in both the human and natural realms. Her personal story is equally compelling as she tells about overcoming life-threatening illness, poverty, a skeptical bureaucracy, and the resistance of co-workers to her creation of a gardening program within the San Francisco jail system. Through their work in the garden and Sneed's untiring efforts on their behalf, she has taught the participants a better way to live.
