Vermont, Copenhagen, Paris and Atlanta, 1988 to 2026. Two men in Burlington sell household goods out of a mail-order catalog on the premise that what a house throws away is the product. Nearly thirty years later a French production engineer puts unsold bakery trays on a telephone, and a woman in Atlanta who has been feeding people out of a pop-up dinner decides that hunger is a routing problem rather than a scarcity one. This is an account of three businesses built on surplus — surplus food, surplus packaging, surplus capacity — and of the specific quarters in which each had to decide which of its two ledgers would take the loss, the one kept in dollars or the one kept in pounds. Covers Alan Newman, Jeffrey Hollender, Lucie Basch, Jasmine Crowe-Houston, Seventh Generation, Too Good To Go, and Goodr.
