May 25th, 2010 Found: people who “get it”

I read authors who connect the dots, and bring together the issues of behavior, environment and the economy. So when there is an opportunity, I listen to the works of:

Juliet Schor, Richard Thayer, Cass R. Sunstein, Tyler Cowen, Paul Krugman, Raj Patel, and Gary Hamel, among others.

I listen for the buzzwords and pay attention to who else is using them. If these eight are just a handful of the thought leaders behind recent critiques of the economy, then I want to be as informed as possible about what they believe are the solutions to unemployment, for example.
