Publisher description
This book focuses on the economics of environment, energy, and what to do about these global issues, including climate change and the Green Industrial Revolution. While some authors have written about The Third Industrial Revolution, the world has moved into a Green Industrial Revolution, which is described in detail in the book. The book is separated into three sections. Section One concerns the Problems of Economics and its Externalities, including climate change, energy and national security. Section Two covers the Solutions for the "Next Economics" as it reviews the basis for the philosophical economic paradigm and how that is changing due to the significance of current global economic and societal concerns. The last section provides some Practical Applications for economics as it explores global environmental and energy issues. If there is any combination of areas needing a fresh look at economics, it is the environment, energy, climate change and their interconnections, as they are major determinants of the macroeconomics of the future. Based on past economic models, these subjects have been lost or ill fitted into modern economic theory. The challenge is to explore and to look deeply into economics in order to provide it a new direction with the possibility for understanding, changing and saving the planet from climate change, making this book of interest to economics and policy-makers alike in the areas of environmental economics, energy policy and climate change.?
