Sobre IBD

Renowned political theorist and author proposes a bold new economic paradigm based on the value of sustainability.The Wealth of Nature proposes a new model of economics based on the integral value of ecology.Building on the foundations of E.F. Schumacher’s revolutionary 'economics as if people mattered', this book examines the true cost of confusing money with wealth.By analyzing the mistakes of contemporary economics, it shows how an economy centered on natural capital-the raw materials that support human life-can move our society toward a more productive relationship with the planet that sustains us all.The Wealth of Nature suggests public policy initiatives and personal choices that can help alleviate the economic impact of peak oil. These strategies must address not only financial concerns, but the issues of resource depletion and pollution.Profoundly insightful and impeccably argued, this book is required reading for anyone interested in the intersection of the environment and the economy as we enter the twilight of the Age of Abundance.

Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
