The Chicago Gangster Theory of Life: Nature's Debt to Society
by Andrew Ross

Andrew Ross draws links between biological determinism and environmentalism and warns against a tendency 'to wield biological authority as a model for social well-being.' 'The Chicago Gangster Theory of Life' misses very little of the pop culture landscape, and less still of contemporary environmental debate'. It is a sustained and enlightened attack on the perversities of environmentalism. Along the way we are provided with a perceptive analysis of urban poverty, American imperialism in Polynesia, the bombing of the world trade Center in New York and the Gulf war.
