- Summary:
-
"This book makes available to readers the new ideas of ecological economists, who have been revolutionizing and greening the once "dismal science." Redefining economic concepts to allow for the primacy of our water, oceans, air, soil and forests, he reveals the necessary steps to a genuine, rather than illusory, prosperity."--BOOK JACKET.
