Description

Ecological Economics: A Guide to Sustainable Economic Thinking

Ecology and economics share a common root: the Greek word oikos, meaning a house. Ecology is the way the natural world manages its house. Economics is the way society manages its house.

This book presents a fundamental rethinking of economic principles through an ecological lens. The contentions are clear: the natural world is the best guide to our economic activities, supply and demand are insufficient determinants, profit and loss are not alternatives, and wealth cannot be created but can be lost. These ideas form the foundation of ecological economics, a framework that challenges conventional economic thinking.

Core Concepts in Ecological Economics

The book addresses practical solutions to pressing environmental and economic challenges. We can stop throwing away food before and after it gets to the table. We can learn to deal with our pollution. We can stop wasting our resources. The authors emphasize that we must look again at our priorities as we're in a race against time.

Written by Jane Robertson and John Robertson, this paperback offers accessible insights into environmental economics, natural resource management, and sustainable living practices. The text argues that if we keep our activities on a human scale, perhaps the passengers can regain control of the runaway train.

Who Should Read This Book

This book serves students and practitioners of environmental studies, political science, and public policy. It provides a theoretical framework for understanding the intersection of ecology and economics while offering practical perspectives on environmental policy and sustainability. The Robertson authors present their case with urgency: perhaps there's not time enough, but it's in everyone's interest to try.

Published by Choir Press in November 2019, this work contributes to ongoing discussions about climate change, green economics, and the future of environmental policy. The book challenges readers to reconsider fundamental assumptions about economic growth, resource use, and our relationship with the natural world.
