Nothing is more important to our world than finding a more
comfortable relationship between the economy and the environment.
While issues such as species loss, nitrate pollution, water
scarcity and climate change are now attracting the political
attention they deserve, their origin in the way our economy is
organized is less frequently recognized. This book makes that
connection both theoretically - with references to a number of
heterodox approaches to economics - and practically through a
number of specific issues. Environment and Economy begins by
introducing readers to the pioneers of this field, such as Fritz
Schumacher and Paul Ehrlich, who first drew attention to the
disastrous consequences for our environment of our ever-expanding
economy. Part II outlines the contributions to the field of
Neoclassical Economics, Environmental Economics, Ecological
Economics, Green Economics and Anti-Capitalist Economics. Part III
takes a pluralist approach to using economic tools to solve a range
of environmental problems: economic growth, resource depletion,
pollution, globalization, climate change and markets vs. commons.
Written in an accessible style, this introductory text offers
students an engaging account of the ways that the various
traditions of economic thought have approached the environment,
bringing them together for the first time in one volume. The text
is complemented by boxes, case studies and recommended reading for
each theme addressed. It will be of value to students interested in
environmental sciences, geography, green issues and economics.
