Ecological economics is a new transdisciplinary approach to understanding and managing the ecology and economics of our world for sustainability on local, regional, and global scales. The previous isolation of these two fields has led to economic and environmental policies that have been mutually destructive rather than reinforcing in the long term. This book brings together these two disciplines in chapters covering the basic worldview of ecological economics; accounting, modeling, and analysis of ecological economicl systems; and necessary institutional changes and case studies.

Ecological Economics,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ecological Economics (Hardcover)
Business assumptions and models all too often do not consider ecosystem dynamics and the values of those ecosystems to hunans. We must begin taking ecosystem values, i.e. the value of a properly functioning Mississippi Delta to the inhabitants of New Orlens, into account. A properly functioning Delta would certainly have mitigated much of the damage done by Katrina.
