In this original, philosophical and sometimes humorous look at economics from ecological first principles, Stuart McBurney argues that economics is ecologically illegitimate and ultimately unsustainable. Our social and environmental problems are caused by the economic systems we have evolved, and our current attempts to solve them through market-based incentives are as ineffective as a rearrangement of the deckchairs on the Titanic. The culprit is economics itself, since its basic concepts are diametrically opposed to the laws of Nature. The continuing transfer of resources from poor to rich countries, accelerating climate change, rainforest destruction, the increasing control of the worlds resources by multinational corporationsindeed the entirety of our environmental crisiscan all be traced back directly to the very nature of the concepts that inspire our economic activity. We have a choice to make:?ecology or economics. We cannot have both.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
