Routledge - Rediscovering Sustainability: Economics of the Finite Earth

Explore the vital connection between economic systems and planetary limits in Rediscovering Sustainability: Economics of the Finite Earth. Published by Routledge, this book uses historical and current data to explain how we reached our current environmental situation and what steps are needed to build a sustainable future. The text provides a roadmap for developing financial and economic structures that work within the boundaries of a finite world. By breaking the content into three distinct parts, the authors cover Stylised Market Equilibrium, The Real Market Economy, and the tension between Present Affluence Versus the Future. This work serves as a bridge for communication. It helps connect the perspectives of scientists and the green movement with the field of economics. If you are looking to understand the gap between environmental concerns regarding climate change and traditional economic theory, this book offers a clear and data-driven analysis of the pathways toward global sustainability.
