This book explores approaches to sustainability by linking the
economy, society and the environment. The international group of
experts uses concepts of sustainability from the physical and
social sciences to develop a framework for creating policies for
sustainability. Sustainability in Question goes beyond much of the
existing literature on sustainability taking into account culture,
institutions, knowledge and traditions. It sheds new light on the
ability of humans to create institutional and social arrangements
which are able to adapt to changing conditions. The authors
consider the current state of environmental and institutional
sustainability within the context of economic activity and public
policy. They recognise that some of the basic economic notions such
as universal substitutability, methodological individualism and the
superiority of the price mechanism may be misplaced in the case of
environmental protection. Sustainability in Question will be
welcomed by those interested in environmental economics, science,
management and environmental studies, as well as by those working
in the fields of ecological economics, natural resource economics
and environmental sociology.
