This groundbreaking book takes a fresh look at how environmental
problems emerge from economic activity and how they may be
addressed in a responsible and sustainable manner. At its centre is
the concept of joint production. This captures the phenomenon
whereby several effects necessarily emerge from one activity and
whereby human action always entails unintended consequences. This,
according to the authors, is the structural cause behind modern-day
environmental problems. Combining concepts and methods from
philosophy of science, systems theory, thermodynamics, economics
and ethics in a truly interdisciplinary manner, the authors
convincingly argue that the joint-production perspective has
fundamental and far-reaching implications for the valuation of
economic goods, the dynamic analysis of economy-environment
interactions, and the accumulation of stocks in ecological-economic
systems. Complementing the joint-production perspective with the
ethical notion of responsibility, the authors develop principles of
sustainable environmental policy, and give philosophical support to
the precautionary principle. Four extensive case studies illustrate
and deepen the approach. With a wide range of analysis and case
studies, this book will be of great interest to researchers and
students in ecological economics, environmental and resource
economics, environmental policy and regulation, environmental
valuation, as well as environmental ethics and responsibility.
