Some of his work is available online, as at the History News Network, Stranded Wind, and The European Tribune. Since the recession, Zencey's ideas are receiving mainstream attention. On Aug 10, The New York Times published on page A17 an 1,800-word essay entitled "G.D.P. R.I.P.," in which Zencey argues that the G.D.P. is a flawed measure of societal and economic progress and should be abandoned as a primary benchmark. Zencey had a story in April in The New York Times about chemist-turned-economist Frederick Soddy, whose ideas were largely ignored when he was writing in the 1920s and 1930s but are now a foundation of ecological economics.〔("Mr. Soddy’s Ecological Economy", ''The New York Times'', April 12, 2009. )〕 In Adbuster's September/October 2009 issue,〔https://www.adbusters.org/magazine/85〕 Zencey's New York Times op-ed on Soddy is reprinted, and many similar ideas are discussed. Zencey lives in Montpelier, Vermont, with his wife, the novelist Kathryn Davis, his cat, Finny, and his Alaskan malamute, Lucy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eric Zencey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
