Conventional economics is increasingly criticized for failing to reflect the value of clean air and water, species diversity, and social and generational equity. By excluding biophysical and social reality from its analyses and equations, conventional economics seems ill-suited to address problems in a world characterized by increasing human impacts and decreasing natural resources. Ecological Economics is an introductory-level textbook for an emerging paradigm that addresses this fundamental flaw in conventional economics. The book defines a revolutionary "transdiscipline" that incorporates insights from the biological, physical, and social sciences, and it offers a pedagogically complete examination of this exciting new field. The book provides students with a foundation in traditional neoclassical economic thought, but places that foundation within a new interdisciplinary framework that embraces the linkages among economic growth, environmental degradation, and social inequity.

Achieving global sustainability will require the development and integration of three elements: a shared vision of what a sustainable society is; new methods of analysis and modelling to understand and describe that vision; and new institutions and instruments that can make the vision a reality. Getting Down to Earth examines these three elements and the importance of their integration for the creation of a sustainable world.

Ecological economics is a new transdisciplinary approach to understanding and managing the ecology and economics of our world for sustainability on local, regional, and global scales. Until now, the isolation of these two fields has led to economic and environmental policies that are mutually destructive. Ecological Economics brings these two disciplines together, discussing the fundamentals of ecological economics; accounting, modeling, and analysis of ecological economics systems; and necessary institutional changes and case studies. A long-expected reward for those who have been following the evolution of economic thinking about their environment. . . . Given the variety of topics and viewpoints, the coherence and editorial integrity of the book are fascinating. (American Scientist)

A new model of economic life that looks at it in terms of ecological interaction and mutation is presented in Evolutionary Economics. It looks at commodities, for example, as if they were a species in the social ecosystem. Boulding describes his new model with clarity and wit, showing its roots in classical economics and exploring the prospects of an evolutionary approach for bettering human conditions.

This is such a book, yet it is more. It is a "poetic" philosophy, mathematics, and science of economics. It is the quintessence of the thought that has been focused on the economic reality. Henceforce all economists must take these conclusions into account lest their analyses and scholarship be found wanting.

Nesta obra, o autor tece uma tese global abrangente por meio de uma série de fascinantes narrativas histórico-culturais. Abordando desde a cultura da Polinésia pré-histórica na ilha de Páscoa às outrora florescentes civilizações nativas americanas dos anasazis e maias, o autor analisa as causas da decadência da colônia viking medieval na Groelândia e chega ao mundo moderno. Com isso, traça um panorama catastrófico e mostra o que acontece quando desperdiçamos nossos recursos, ignoramos os sinais de nosso meio ambiente, quando nos reproduzimos rápido demais ou cortamos árvores em excesso.
