‘This excellent book reminds us of the vitality and pluralism of a discipline that is under constant fire from its practitioners.’
– Michael Ashcroft, Sustainable Development
‘I highly recommend the book to those who already regard themselves as ecological economists and also to those who are engaged in and love mathematical modelling because they may better understand the sense of their doing so.’
– Jörg Köhn, International Journal of Sustainable Development
Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen was described by Paul Samuelson as ‘an economist’s economist’. This book honors him by discussing his theories on a wide range of issues but particularly on environmental and energy economics. It is a dynamic tribute which extends his work to address the problems the human race will face in the 21st century.
