Questo autore con sede a Singapore esplora gli intricati legami tra finanza, economia e deterioramento ambientale. Dopo essersi ritirato dalla vendita di libri sulla natura, dall'illustrazione, dal editing e dalla pubblicazione, si è dedicato allo studio dell'economia. È giunto alla conclusione che la crescita della popolazione, l'eccesso di consumo e il debito sono i principali motori del collasso ecologico che stiamo affrontando. Il suo lavoro consiglia ai lettori di posizionarsi finanziariamente per un futuro incerto, piuttosto che soccombere alla povertà.
