Ecological economics formally emerged in the late 1980s in response to the   failure of mainstream economic paradigms to deal adequately with the   interdependence of social, economic and ecological systems. Frontier Issues   in Ecological Economics focuses on a range of cutting-edge issues in the   field of ecological economics and outlines plausible measures to achieve a   more sustainable, just, and efficient world for all.Covering a broad   range of key subjects, this book deals with some of the frontier issues   that have recently emerged in ecological economics and those that continue   to remain a source of disagreement and debate. In doing so, the book   highlights the importance of natural capital, the limits to growth and   markets in achieving sustainable development, the policy-guiding value of   sustainable development indicators, ecological tax reform considerations,   environmental-macroeconomic issues such as the reconciliation of the   ecological sustainability and full employment objectives, and measures to   deal with growing globalisation concerns. The book concludes with the   optimistic assessment that a transition to a steady-state economy -   necessary to achieve sustainable development - is entirely compatible with   a democratic-capitalist system.Philip Lawn's latest book will appeal   to academics and researchers working in the areas of ecological,   environmental and natural resource economics, sustainable development,   green national accounting, environmental management and development   studies. Policymakers, environmental managers and NGOs will also appreciate   this book.
