A visit to the true cost bistro

Abstract: A Visit to the True Cost Bistro was written to provoke thought about the unappreciated nature of what economists call externalities. At its core, this theatrical vignette is about consumption and the decisions we make with little or no concern for their social and environmental impacts. Performances invariably lead to vibrant discussions about globalism, sustainability, invasive species, economics, poverty and privilege, and the role of government, to name a few. Although it is based on science, A Visit to the True Cost Bistro is more a creative endeavor than academic essay. Copyright Springer Verlag 2012
