Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Since its establishment in the late 1980s, ecological economics has deepened our understanding of the interplay between social and biophysical realities. Initially critiquing mainstream economics while addressing environmental degradation and growth limits, the field has evolved into a source of theoretical, analytical, and policy alternatives. Social ecological economics and transformative futures are now central themes, integrating insights from diverse disciplines such as heterodox economics, political ecology, sociology, political science, social psychology, applied philosophy, environmental ethics, and natural sciences. This handbook, edited by a prominent figure in the field, showcases the dynamism of ecological economics through a collection of cutting-edge essays from international researchers who are expanding the discipline's boundaries. It combines critical analysis with a realistic view of economic systems and their ties to nature and society, offering a nuanced understanding of how biophysical and social realities intersect. Chapters cover various topics, including heterodox environmental thought, society and politics, markets and consumption, ethics, and policy challenges, while also envisioning a post-growth society. This handbook serves as an accessible guide to ecological economics literature, making it essential for those interested in the connections between social, ecological, and economic systems, as well
