| Description: |
Based on case histories in the Third World, this book is an expansion of the authors' previous book "Blueprint for a Green Economy". It addresses the issues of equity between rich and poor nations and the economics of sustainable natural resource management. |
| Synopsis: |
Blueprint for a Green Economy put the economics of the environment onto the public agenda. Its authors have now widened the issue by applying the principles of their earlier, ground-breaking work to the tangled issue of sustainable Third World development. They offer a definition of sustainable development in terms of not depleting natural resources and then examine its economic implications. The bulk of the book contains six lively case-studies of major developmental issues, from the watersheds of Java to the drylands of the Sudan; from Amazonia to Africa, all of which show the crucial importance of incorporating the economics of sustainable development into our thinking. |
