How Much Should A Person Consume? by Ramachandra Guha
A concise, comparative examination of environmentalism that contrasts the histories, values and practices of India and the United States to ask how much consumption is socially and ecologically defensible; the book traces grassroots movements, intellectual currents and policy responses, critiques affluent consumerism and elite-led conservation alike, and argues for limits on consumption coupled with social justice so that ecological protection does not become an instrument of privilege but a shared ethic guiding distribution, technology and political action.
