Greening the Economy (eBook, ePUB)

Integrating economics and ecology to make effective change

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on both economics and ecology, this book offers telling insights into the confusing "jobs versus environment" debates as well as charts a recommended path towards a more co-habitable relationship. Avoiding the extreme views that economic growth will either destroy or save our natural environment, this book takes a more discriminating stance and illuminates why our nation's natural environment is both better and worse than forty years ago.
