The world as we know it needs a new economics. Climate change,
financial crisis and out-of-control globalization - all the major
problems facing the world have their root in the dominant economic
system. The globalised marketplace is the prevailing force in our
lives, undermining the real importance of our human communities and
our planet. Green Economics argues that society should be embedded
within the ecosystem, and that markets and economies are social
structures that should respond to social and environmental
priorities. This highly readable text provides an introduction to
green economics including views on taxation, welfare, money,
economic development and employment through the work of its
inspirational figures including Schumacher, Robertson and
Douthwaite. It also explores the contributions and insights of
schools of thought critical of the dominant neo-classical economic
paradigm, including ecofeminism, views from the global South, and
the perspective of indigenous peoples. Examples of effective green
policies that are already being implemented across the world are
presented, as well as policy prescriptions for issues including
climate change, localization, citizens' income, economic
measurement, ecotaxes and trade.
