Introduction is an understatement,
By Pencil Name (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Economic Growth: An Introduction to Sustainable Development. (WBI Learning Resources) (Paperback)
This book gives a very quick introduction to sustainable development and economic principals. There are short colorful chapters on GDP/GNP as a measure of welfare, pollution levels in different countries, foreign investment, etc. but it simply introduces the concepts and mentions why they are important. There is very little in depth discussion.The second half of the book contains tables of data collected by the World Bank on foreign aid, immigration, pollution/air quality, population growth, GNP per capita, and so on. Buy this book for the data, and if you are new to the economics of sustainable development. Don't buy it if you want to do any research or reporting of your own. |
