Earth Inc. is a collection of writings by R. Buckminster Fuller. This book collects some of R. Buckminster Fuller's most important recent writings on the subject of spaceship Earth: the big, inter-connected, total system that is "the only one we've got." These articles stress the need for considering our planet as a whole, rather than breaking it into its parts- as most of us continue to do. This theme is crucial to the thinking of Bucky Fuller, who, in addition to his many other appellations, has been called the "godfather" of the Whole Earth Catalog.

"Humanity is acquiring the right technology for all the wrong reasons—and only as driven by looming wars and the fear of being annihilated by the enemy. Humanity could acquire the technology for the purpose of total success and enduring peace. We say we cannot afford it in peace times, but technology... not only pays for itself but [leads] inadvertently to the acquisition of greater wealth." -from "Earthians' Critical Moment" in Earth, Inc.
