They stress "economic efficiency - getting the most welfare out of a given endowment of resources". And they address the larger moral issues as well. Chapter topics induce the historical development of environmental economics; environmental ethics; and pollution control policy in "free", mixed market, and centrally planned economies. Other current issues seen from an economic perspective induce destruction of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, policy weapons in the fight against pollution, and the special problems of the third world.
Economics of Natural Resources and the Environment offers a thorough review and synthesis of the major work of the field's senior scholars. It will be of value not only to students of natural resource economics, environmental economics, geography, and environmental sciences but also to all with an interest in economic approaches to environmental issues.
"For all we know," the authors write, "it may be perfectly possible to dispense with natural environments in favor of an encapsulated world of plastics and microchips. In all probability the issue is not survival in chat sense. But the issue surely is one of how far clown chat road we wish to travel, and what regrets we think our grandchildren will have if we travel clown it too far."
