Publisher description
Ecological economics addresses one of the fundamental flaws in conventional
economics-its failure to consider biophysical and social reality in its
analyses and equations. Ecological Economics: Principles and Applications is an
introductory-level textbook that offers a pedagogically complete examination of
this dynamic new field. As a workbook accompanying the text, this volume breaks
new ground in applying the principles of ecological economics in a problem- or
service-based learning setting. Both the textbook and this workbook are situated within a new
interdisciplinary framework that embraces the linkages among economic growth,
environmental degradation, and social inequity in an effort to guide policy in
a way that respects fundamental human values. The workbook takes the approach a
step further in placing ecological economic analysis within a systems
perspective, in order to help students identify leverage points by which they
can help to effect change. The workbook helps students to develop a practical,
operational understanding of the principles and concepts explored in the text
through real-world activities, and describes numerous case studies This work addresses one of the fundamental flaws in conventional
economics-its failure to consider biophysical and social reality in its
analyses and equations. It is an introductory-level textbook that offers a
pedagogically complete examination of this dynamic new field.
