His ideas are unique, packed with substance, and bundled together with persuasive arguments." -- Todd Wellnitz, _Ecology_ The Wealth of Nature: How Mainstream Economics Has Failed the Environment RL Nadeau (11 July 2003) 2008-06-01T15:04:30-00:00 2003 Columbia University Press ecology economics environmentalism http://www.citeulike.org/user/heraclitus/article/2854473 <i>(01 November 1991)</i><br /><br />Updated and Expanded Edition Winner of the Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order 1992, Named New Options Best Political Book Economist Herman Daly and theologian John Cobb, Jr., demonstrate how conventional economics and a growth-oriented industrial economy have led us to the brink of environmental disaster, and show the possibility of a different future. For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy Toward Community, the Environment, & a Sustainable Future Herman Daly John Cobb (01 November 1991) 2008-06-01T10:45:46-00:00 1991 Beacon Press common-good economics environmentalism http://www.citeulike.org/user/heraclitus/article/2749098 <i>(29 December 1999)</i><br /><br />Paul Ekins breaks new ground in defining the conditions of compatibility between economic growth and environmental sustainability, an provides measures and criteria by which the environmental sustainability of economic growth, as it occurs in the real world, may be judged. It is argued that "green growth" is not only theoretically possible but economically achievable and the author shows what environmental and economic policies are required to achieve this. Economic Growth, Human Welfare and Environmental Sustainability Paul Elkins (29 December 1999) 2008-05-03T15:06:37-00:00 1999 Routledge ecology economics environmentalism http://www.citeulike.org/user/heraclitus/article/2749097 <i>(27 January 1998)</i><br /><br />This book presents a new perspective on the link between economic growth and environmental change. All the key issues in environmental economics are covered, including: industry, creation and environmental change; air, water and toxic pollution; economic growth and the limits of environmental regulation; and the ethics and the limits of environmental economics. The central thesis is that while new industries are necessary for economic growth, their development creates new environmental problems which become difficult to reverse. An alternative approach, "steady-state economics", based on the concept of ethical commitment, is put forward as a possible alternative to a high-growth, environmentally destructive economy. Providing a welcome alternative to conventional, neoclassical microeconomic thought on environmental issues, this will be vital reading for students of environmental economics and related subjects.
