The search for a more harmonious relationship between the economy and the environment is of paramount importance to our world. While issues such as species loss, nitrate pollution, water scarcity, and climate change have garnered the political attention they rightfully deserve, their root in the way our economy is structured is often overlooked. This book aims to bridge that gap, both theoretically through references to various heterodox approaches to economics and practically through a series of specific issues.
Environment and Economy begins by introducing readers to the pioneers of this field, including Fritz Schumacher and Paul Ehrlich, who first brought to light the devastating consequences of our ever-expanding economy for the environment. In Part II, the book outlines the contributions of Neoclassical Economics, Environmental Economics, Ecological Economics, Green Economics, and Anti-Capitalist Economics to the field. Part III takes a pluralist approach to utilizing economic tools to address a diverse range of environmental challenges, including economic growth, resource depletion, pollution, globalization, climate change, and markets versus commons.
Written in an accessible style, this introductory text provides students with an engaging account of how the various traditions of economic thought have approached the environment, bringing them together for the first time in one comprehensive volume. The text is complemented by boxes, case studies, and recommended readings for each theme addressed. It will be of great value to students interested in environmental sciences, geography, green issues, and economics.
