Before the late 1980s, when the ideas of sustainability and
sustainable development to the forefront of public debate,
conventional, neo-classical economic thinking about development and
growth had rarely given any consideration to the needs of future
generations, or the sustainability of natural resource use.
Defining sustainability broadly as intergenerational fairness in
the long-term decision making of a whole society, and using
established economic concepts, this selection of refereed journal
articles brings a famously ill-defined concept into sharp focus,
providing academics at all levels with a formidable research tool.
Spanning thirty years of the most important philosophical,
theoretical and empirical contributions from both critics and
defenders of neo-classical assumptions and methods of economic
analysis, this focused collection of papers constitutes a unique,
balanced resource on the full range of intellectual debates
surrounding the economics of sustainability.
