A Survey of Ecological Economics
About this eBook
The editors of the volume summarize ninety-five seminal articles, selected through an exhaustive survey, that advance the field of ecological economics and represent the best thinking to date in the area. Each two- to three-page summary is far more comprehensive than a typical abstract, and presents both the topics covered in each paper and the most important arguments made about each topic. Sections cover:
- historical perspective
- definition, scope, and interdisciplinary issues
- theoretical frameworks and techniques
- energy and resource flow analysis
- accounting and evaluation
- North-South/international issues
- ethical/social/institutional issues
A Survey of Ecological Economics is the first volume in the Frontier Issues in Economic Thought series produced by the Global Development And Environment Institute at Tufts University.
