Abstract:
Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'This clear-thinking collection brings together 25 of Daly's essays, speeches, reviews and testimonials from the past decade. . . as a whole they provide a useful masterclass on the principles of ecological economics. Daly's vision, as well as his frustration with mainstream economists' refusal to engage with his arguments, comes through loud and clear.' -- New Scientist 'It's hard to imagine ecological economics without the numerous and profound contributions of Herman Daly. These papers reveal the consistency of his analysis and clarity of exposition that have made him one of the most influential economists of his generation. Because of Herman Daly we have a much better understanding of how economies relate to the environment, why so much is wrong with this relationship and what must be done to fix it.' Read more...
