Global warming is an increasing problem, tropical forests are being
wiped out and major upper watersheds are being degraded. Using
insights provided by environmentalism, ecology and thermo-dynamics,
this book - first published in 1989 - outlines an economic approach
to the use of natural resources and particularly to the problem of
environmental degradation. Edward Barbier reviews and critiques the
long past of environmental and resource economics and then goes on
to elaborate an economics which allows us to develop alternative
strategies for dealing with the problems faced. With examples drawn
from Latin America and Indonesia, he not only develops a major
theoretical advance but shows how it can be applied. Barbier's work
is an important and relevant contribution to the discussion
surrounding the economics of environmental sustainability.
