This book marks a milestone in Economics publishing. Sustainable
Economics is *the* subject of the moment, as businesses across the
globe face up to peak oil prices, climate instability, increasingly
complex environmental legislation and the challenge of adapting to
a new business landscape. Sustainable Economics: Context,
Challenges and Opportunities for the 21st Century Practitioner
debugs the language of sustainable development. It explores the
strengths and weaknesses of the many and diverse schools of
thought. The book enables the modern business student and
practitioner to disentangle the complex, often convoluted debate
relating to sustainability, and it provides the tools necessary to
lead their organizations through the murky waters of current times
and prepare for the challenges of the future. Eschewing the linear
- take, make and waste - approach of current business and
manufacturing thinking, this book revisits the ecological models
underpinning recent economic sustainability theory, and re-examines
the consequences of modern ecological thought upon business
strategies relating to sustainability. A chapter is also dedicated
to the "circular economy", already in common parlance at policy
levels in the UK, and notably in China and other developing
countries.Packed with the most recent research papers, Sustainable
Economics is an essential resource for the 21st-century business
practitioner and legislator.The book is supported with a large
array of teaching and learning material, for both formal and
informal use, ranging from role play to data analysis which are
available on request with the purchase of this book.
