Marxism and Ecological Economics: Toward a Red and Green Political Economy (Historical Materialism Book) (Historical Materialism Book)

@book{citeulike:2783278, abstract = {{This book undertakes the first general assessment of ecological economics from a Marxist point of view, and shows how Marxist political economy can make a substantial contribution to ecological economics. The analysis is developed in terms of four basic issues: (1) nature and economic value; (2) the treatment of nature as capital; (3) the significance of the entropy law for economic systems; (4) the concept of sustainable development. In each case, it is shown that Marxism can help ecological economics fulfill its commitments to multi-disciplinarity, methodological pluralism, and historical openness. In this way, a foundation is constructed for a substantive dialogue between Marxists and ecological economists.}}, author = {Burkett, Paul }, citeulike-article-id = {2783278}, howpublished = {Hardcover}, isbn = {9004148108}, keywords = {ecology, marxism}, month = {March}, posted-at = {2008-05-10 21:42:00}, priority = {2}, publisher = {{Brill Academic Publishers}}, title = {Marxism and Ecological Economics: Toward a Red and Green Political Economy (Historical Materialism Book) (Historical Materialism Book)}, url = {http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike09-20\&path=ASIN/9004148108}, year = {2006} }
