Description

As the world faces the realities of climate change and declining oil supplies, the question of resource provisioning becomes more urgent. This book by Routledge examines the proposed shift from a globalized economy and its long supply chains toward a more local economic model. Green economists suggest that moving toward local systems is a necessary step, but this transition requires concrete answers. This text explores the practicalities of such a shift, asking how large a local economy should be and how much self-reliance is actually possible. It looks at the specific resources that might still require importation to maintain stability. By utilizing the concept of the 'bioregion' - a term used in earth sciences, biosciences, and planning - this work helps reconceptualize the global economy. It provides a framework for understanding how land and liberty relate to economic sustainability in a changing world. This is an essential read for those studying economic policy, development, and the future of resource management.
