# The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer | Book Review

[![](https://somisguided.com/wp-content/uploads/the-serviceberry.jpg)](https://www.simonandschuster.ca/books/The-Serviceberry/Robin-Wall-Kimmerer/9781668072240)

(https://www.simonandschuster.ca/books/The-Serviceberry/Robin-Wall-Kimmerer/9781668072240), author of *Braiding Sweetgrass*, is a sweet yet firm look at how our economy is rooted in scarcity and competition. We hoard resources, we strip the land and water of its fruits, we do harm, and we assume the distribution of wealth is something that should be controlled. Robin Wall Kimmerer offers an Indigenous, and ecological look, at circular systems, and how we could all flourish with sharing, taking a community focus, and giving (not just taking).
