The Green Economy: Environment, Sustainable Development and the Politics of the Future

The Green Economy: Environment, Sustainable Development and the Politics of the Future

by Michael Jacobs (Author), VictorAnderson (Author)

Synopsis

By showing how environmental concerns can be made central to economic policy, this book aims to fill a critical gap in the literature and create a new economic paradigm. The authors suggest that current contradictions in capitalism are a hopeful sign that change is possible. In the process, they clarify the continuing debates on planning, markets and ownership - and on economic growth and sustainability.
