| 520 | 8 | |a This title explores the debate on how to reconcile economic growth with protection of the natural environment, and the closely related discussion on whether an increasing scarcity of natural resources will eventually force economic growth to cease. The debate focuses on whether environmental policies will benefit the economy or not, and is divided into growth optimists and growth pessimists. This book brings together the discussion between growth optimists and pessimists, and presents the theory behind their arguments. | |
