  • Resolving the Climate Change Crisis

    The Ecological Economics of Climate Change

    de Philip Lawn ...
    Series series Economics and Finance (R0)
    This book explains why the climate change crisis is a symptom of a much larger underlying problem – namely, humankind’s predilection with continuous GDP-growth. Given this starting point, the world’s high-income nations must begin the transition to a qualitatively-improving steady-state economy and low-income nations must follow suit at some stage over the next 20-40 years. Unless they do, a well ... Leer más

  • Environment and Employment

    A Reconciliation

    Edición de Philip Lawn ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics
    Mounting evidence suggests that GDP growth is damaging the natural environment and unlikely to be ecologically sustainable in the long-run. At the same time, an annual GDP growth rate of around three percent is regarded as the minimum necessary to prevent unemployment from escalating. Clearly, a trade-off exists between environmental goals and employment goals, yet this trade-off has been largely ... Leer más

    The world's leading economies are facing not just one but many crises. The financial meltdown may not be over, climate change threatens major global disruption, economic inequality has reached extremes not seen for a century, and government and business are widely distrusted.

  • One Economics, Many Recipes

    Globalization, Institutions, and Economic Growth

    de Dani Rodrik ...
    In One Economics, Many Recipes, leading economist Dani Rodrik argues that neither globalizers nor antiglobalizers have got it right. While economic globalization can be a boon for countries that are trying to dig out of poverty, success usually requires following policies that are tailored to local economic and political realities rather than obeying the dictates of the international globalization ...

  • The Soulful Science

    What Economists Really Do and Why It Matters - Revised Edition

    de Diane Coyle ...
    For many, Thomas Carlyle's put-down of economics as "the dismal science" rings true--especially in the aftermath of the crash of 2008. But Diane Coyle argues that economics today is more soulful than dismal, a more practical and human science than ever before. The Soulful Science describes the remarkable creative renaissance in economics, how economic thinking is being applied to the paradoxes of ... Leer más

  • The Economics Anti-Textbook

    A Critical Thinker's Guide to Microeconomics

    de Rod Hill, Tony Myatt ...
    Mainstream textbooks present economics as an objective science free from value judgements; that settles disputes by testing hypotheses; that applies a pre-determined body of principles; and contains policy prescriptions supported by a consensus of professional opinion. The Economics Anti-Textbook argues that this is a myth - one which is not only dangerously misleading but also bland and boring. ... Leer más

  • Heat, Greed and Human Need

    Climate Change, Capitalism and Sustainable Wellbeing

    de Ian Gough ...
    'There are few scholarly books about climate change that take the issue of the distribution of its costs, and of the costs and benefits of its mitigation, as seriously as their absolute value. This is probably the best of those books that I have come across. Rigorously rooted in Gough's earlier work on theories of human need, the book is relentless in its pursuit of equity in respect of climate ... Leer más
