The solutions and tools generally offered to policymakers on
environmental issues - such as carbon pricing and environmental
taxation - most often emanate from neoclassical economists. This
book shows that the tools of these economists are ineffective for
the job and must be replaced by methods from the sphere of
ecological accounting. The work has four main themes: First, the
book provides a presentation and criticism of the tools
traditionally proposed by neoclassical economists. Adopting a
historical perspective, this section shows how these tools have
evolved over time and explores some of the theoretical criticisms
which have been leveled at them. Second, the book shows how
mainstream economists have moved away from more pragmatic and
efficient solutions because of their ignorance of the realities of
management, in particular, corporate accounting, and their
ideologically driven desire to avoid attacking the capitalist
model. Third, a toolkit of anti-capitalist ecological accounting is
outlined, showcasing the distinct advantages of this approach for
the environmental crises. And finally the book considers the
concrete possibilities of a rapid application of these new tools to
combat the immediate threats we are facing. The book will interest
all readers who want to understand how anti-capitalist ecological
accounting can contribute to cooling and saving the planet, in
particular readers in ecological economics and accounting.
