Jason Scorse was my environmental economics professor in graduate school. He was one of the most influential teachers I have ever had and his insightful views on economics and environmental issues are exactly what politicians and environmentalists need to hear. His viewpoints reframe the issues that are too often politicized by both the right and left. I urge Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and Independents to read this book so we can have an objective, fact-based conversation and make policy and business decisions that are logical and benefit both business and the environment.
I'm no economist, but I can understand this book very well. I don't want to be a one-sided environmentalist and I appreciate the importance of a strong economy. This points out that environmental economics is hard. There isn't one good answer to most of our conflicts, and we need to see each other's points of view. Just like environmentalists get made when people don't make decisions based on science or facts, I'm sure economists and such get mad when environmentalists make or push for decisions without the economy in mind. Thank you for helping me understand better!
Quick and easy read. Perfect for those in the environmental field who need a clearer understanding of economics. A must-read for anyone concocting solutions for the complicated environmental problems that we're faced with.
The kind of comprehensive and eminently readable account I wished I had when I was slugging through textbooks trying to grasp the basics of environmental economics. More importantly, it's the kind of book every environmentalist doesn't just "need to" know, it's what everyone must know to be an effective advocate for a livable planet.
