Because the Future Matters: Let's Stop Letting Modern Economics and Our Energy Addiction Ruin Almost Everything! takes as its starting point the importance of the fundamental role that energy in one form or another has always playedand will always playin the economic life of human beings.
Very quickly, however, in Chapters 2 and 3, the author jumps right in with a set of energy-related proposals intended to go a long way towards remedying three major interconnected problems that are currently confronting Canada and much of the rest of the modern world: (1) increasingly serious environmental degradation, (2) the increasing likelihood of a sudden shortage of one or more key natural resources and (3) the increasing likelihood of a disastrous social breakdown.
Braden calls this set of proposals Intelligent National Frugality.
Once having introduced his proposals to the reader, he spends the rest of the book discussing what they are intended to accomplish, how, and why. He also argues that Intelligent National Frugality is as compatible with free enterprise as it is with socialism.
