Environment and Economy by Molly Scott Cato

Environment and Economy by Molly Scott Cato

As environmental issues move to the centre of the political debate, more attention is being focused on the role our economy has played in creating the ecological crisis, and what a sustainable economy might look like. This book offers an insight into the history of thinking that has linked economy and environment.

"In the midst of ecological and financial crisis what we need more than anything is a clear perspective on how the two are linked, and what we can do to save ourselves and our planetThis is exactly what is offered by this book. Challenging and informative, this book will enable lecturers in a range of disciplines to deepen their students' understanding of the ecological crisis and how more enlightened economists are rising to the challenge." Professor Danny Dorling, Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, UK.

"Scott Cato provides two books at once: an accessible primer in environmental literacy for economists, and a primer in economic literacy for environmentalists. Using down to earth case studies for consciousness raising, and theoretical exposition for policy critique, she guides a generation facing the imperative of de-growth into the adventure of revitalising oikos." Honorary Associate Professor Ariel Salleh, Department of Political Economy, University of Sydney, Australia. 

Molly Scott Cato is a Reader in Green Economics at Cardiff School of Management and Director of Cardiff Institute for Co-operative Studies.
