| Summary: | Structural economics is a body of theory and methods that provide a framework for developing and evaluating such strategies. It represents an important new approach to describing household lifestyles and technological choices, the relationships between them, and their impact on resource use and waste. In Structural Economics, economist Faye Duchin provides for the first time an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the field. This book should prove invaluable to students and scholars of economics, sociology, or anthropology, as well as environmental scientists, policymakers at all levels, and anyone concerned with a practical interpretation of the elusive concept of sustainable development. |
