Ecological Economics and Sustainable Development comprises a
carefully chosen selection of some 25 articles, speeches,
congressional testimonies, reviews, and critiques from the last ten
years of Herman Daly's ever-illuminating work. This book seeks to
identify the blind spots and errors in standard growth economics,
alongside the corrections that ecological economics offers to
better guide us toward a sustainable economy - one with deeper
biophysical and ethical roots. Under the general heading of
sustainability and ecological economics, many specific topics are
here brought into relation with each other. These include: limits
to growth; full-world versus empty-world economics; uneconomic
growth; definitions of sustainability; peak oil; steady-state
economics; allocation versus distribution versus scale issues;
non-enclosure of rival goods and enclosure of non-rival goods;
production functions and the laws of thermodynamics; OPEC and
Kyoto; involuntary resettlement and development; resource versus
value-added taxation; globalization versus internationalization;
immigration; climate change; and the philosophical presuppositions
of policy, including the policies suggested in connection with the
topics above. This fascinating work will appeal to scholars and
academics of ecological, environmental, development, and
environmental resource economics and studies.
