Synopsis
In recent years Herman Daly has become a prominent advocate for a change in economic thinking in response to environmental crises. In this text, Daly argues that the idea of sustainable development - which has become a catchword of environmentalism and international finance - is being used in ways that are not only vacuous but wrong and dangerous.
Customer Reviews
Fuses Christian ethics w/environmental economics effectively
Herman Daly fills a spiritual void in the field of economics. He explains how current capitalist economic theories dependent on unlimited growth are not only destructive to the environmental resource base upon which the economy depends, but also morally indifferent to unwanted side effects such as the unequal distribution of wealth. The strength of Daly's work is such that it may help bring two important advocacy groups that are not normally associated we each other--environmentalists and Christians--together into a powerful constituency.
