Book Review Choice

I've chosen "The Ecology of Money" by Richard Douthwaite (1999) for my book review assignment. I chose this topic partly because I don't know alot about economics and thought this would be a good way to start educating myself, and begin fixing my knowledge gap in how money operates in the global system.
I chose this particular book because its written at a level at which I could grasp the concepts addressed, and it addresses two vitally relevant topics with regard to sustainability:-
1. "The need for a new balance between global and local economies" (coming back to that middle way again)
2. The issue of carbon-energy efficiency.
