Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future is a nonfiction work of environmental and economic criticism by Bill McKibben, first published in 2007 and later issued in paperback by St. Martin’s Griffin. The book challenges the assumption that continual economic growth is the best measure of progress. Instead, McKibben argues for a deep economy built on local interdependence, smaller-scale production, and more durable relationships between people, resources, and place. Drawing on examples from food systems, energy use, and community life, he questions whether national and global efficiency should always outrank resilience, equity, and human satisfaction. The book is both analytical and argumentative: it critiques industrialized systems while proposing a more local and ecologically grounded model of prosperity. Readers interested in environmental policy, sustainable development, and alternative economic thinking will find it especially relevant because it reframes the basic question not as how to grow faster, but as what an economy is actually for.
