In this \u003ci\u003eRelease 2.0 \u003c\/i\u003eedition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession.

And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHot, Flat, and Crowded\u003c\/i\u003e 2.0 is classic Thomas L.
