Ecological Limits: The Metabolic Economy and Planetary Boundaries (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276569482)

This critical volume introduces the essential constraint of "Environmental Constraints and Opportunities" into economic analysis. It systematically analyzes the relationship between the global economy (the metabolic economy) and the hard limits defined by planetary boundaries. It offers a deep dive into Ecological Economics, focusing on how growth frameworks must fundamentally adapt to resource scarcity and climate change to ensure long-term, sustainable prosperity rather than self-devouring consumption.
