‘Economics for the twenty-first century? This is what this book is all about. It will become the definitive international reference. Top scholars in the field provide thoughtful summaries of key concepts in ecological economics. By doing this, they offer insights and tools on how to reconcile human development with planetary boundaries, arguably the most important challenge of our time.’
