In Escape from Avarice, Tarcher traces the development of our nation's institutions, values, and technology. He argues that the present economic emphasis on the quantity of production and on fiscal monetary policies should give way to a new a focus on quality -- the setting of priorities, social planning, an emphasis on education, and the drastic curtailment of speculative activities and public and private bureaucracies. Tarcher presents specific ideas for a social reconstruction that would revive our flagging values of community, democracy, and the work ethic.
