Produktbeschreibung

To understand, contrast, and compare alternative understandings of economic, environmental and development issues, we need to be aware why theorists conceptualize the process of social experience so differently. By addressing the disagreements between theorists, this book provides a unique basis to contrast and compare the plethora of theories of, and policies for, economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and social progress.
