Economics, Sustainability, and Democracy (eBook, PDF)

Economics in the Era of Climate Change

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

How should we conduct economics in an era of climate change, natural resource depletion and population increase? This book contends that the free-market economics that has dominated capitalist democracies in recent decades is not up to the task; that the welfarist economics that preceded it, while preferable, also has inadequacies; and that what is required is an economics founded on ecological principles, greater respect for the laws of natural science, and a moral commitment to a sustainable future.
