Greed, Greed and more greed.

Author David Gerrold have written my thoughts exactly !
Greed and way to much human growth will be our undoing.
I’ve been saying it for years now and the author just confirmed it all !

Beautiful story if not a prophecy all together, it’s just to bad that it’s so short.

"What's in it for me?"

With it's ever growing population, how can the world become sustainable? This was the discussion between a few of the wealthiest and smartest people. A short look at the politics of us all. Cleverly illustrating the real problem and beautifully read by silken voiced David Penz. Brief, insightful if predictable, and very depressing.
Should be compulsory reading for every schoolchild as well as every adult every year.

Made available by the rights holder at my request via Free Audiobook Codes. Thank you.
