Theobald, Robert,

The Rich and the Poor ,1959
It is a mistake to assume that the poor countries are backward versions of the rich: they have different patterns and development is only possible if their traditions are respected.
The Challenge of Abundance, 1961
Abundance will force fundamental changes in our way of life. It cannot be contained within industrial-era norms.
Free Men and Free Markets, 1963
Made the case for Basic Economic Security (the guaranteed income) arguing that it would be increasingly difficult to generate enough jobs and those that were generated would depend on feeding wants rather than satisfying needs.
The Triple Revolution (with others) (1964)
A report to President Johnson which argued that we were in the throes of revolutionary change, similar in magnitude from the shifts from hunting and gathering to agriculture and from agriculture to industry.
Economizing Abundance, 1970
A text on economics which showed why current thinking was flawed and suggested a move away from maximum economic growth strategies.
Habit and Habitat, 1972
An examination of environmental and ecological realities and a statement of the depth of change required if dynamics were to alter in any significant way.
The Failure of Success, with Stephanie Mills, ed, 1973
Used the same type of material to demonstrate that the ways we were currently thinking were worsening conditions.
