Written by an economist and an investment professional, this book
addresses the twin crises that the world is facing in the form of a
simultaneous financial and environmental credit crunch.
Financially, consumers are less able to consume now, and pay later.
Environmentally, we may have already reached our credit limit and
the bill for past financial and environmental consumption is
falling due. Whether the financial credit crunch constrains
consumers in a way that will be environmentally supportive,
naturally slowing the consumption of finite resources, or hinders
any effective resolution of the environmental credit crunch is of
crucial importance. Policy responses to the financial crisis are
likely to be constrained by the political need to support the
economic status quo, and when combined with a global reduction in
available investment capital there are serious challenges ahead if
the economic and environmental damage of the environmental credit
crunch is to be minimised. This book asks whether financial
crunch-induced changes in consumer behaviour will be enough to
avoid, or reduce, the environmental crunch many believe is just
round the corner. Donovan and Hudson combine their respective
economic and environmental perspectives to address this key
question, reviewing this 'tale of two crunches' from the
perspective of different economic sectors. The answer to the
conundrum this book poses may lie in the only unlimited resource on
the planet - human ingenuity.
