Beyond Ecological Economics And Development (Routledge Frontiers Of Political Economy)

The interrelationship between development, environment and human needs is one of the key issues facing the word today. The Chilean economist, Manfred Max-Neef, was a leading thinker on this dynamic and this book provides both an introduction to and analysis of his work and ideas. Arranged in three main sections - 'Human needs and well-being', 'Development, growth and sustainability', and 'Methodology of economics' - the chapters in this book contribute to on-going debates on issues as important as human development, the limits of economic growth, deep ecology, sustainable consumption, entrepreneurship, climate change, interdisciplinarity, and the methodology and practice of economics. The contributors to this volume provide a broad range of different critical perspectives on these issues, and the chapters are arranged in dialogue with each other to provide the reader with a rounded view of the legacy of Max-Neef. This book is vital reading for all those interested in ecological economics, environmental economics, development economics, methodology and philosophy of economics, and heterodox economics.
