Faustian Economics

"Faustian Economics by Wendell Berry is an article about a man criticizing American life. We don't do much to help out our climate problem and according to the author, we take "useless steps" to fix it. Berry believes we must get rid of the standard that Americans have to fix the climate problem, which is greed and wastefulness. If we cut back on wastefulness, the world would be better, according to him. Berry also says that there are ways to fix our problems- an example using biofuel shows that we still look to produce ways to fix our problems but it comes with a cost. We as Americans are too greedy, and must stop consuming and wasting so much.
