Why read it?
1 author picked Ecological Economics and Sustainable Development, Selected Essays of Herman Daly as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was privileged to know Herman Daly, often seen as the founding father of ecological economics.
Starting in the 1960s, he defied conventional economic theory to insist on the primacy of the ecological system and limits to economic growth. He introduced the concept of “full world” economics, arguing that the expansion of human economic activity was displacing essential ecological functions.
This book presents his extensive and insightful perspective on a range of economic issues, and offers a roadmap for saving the global economic system from collapse.
From Jonathan's list on understanding ecological economics.
