On natural capital : the value of the world around us

by Partha Dasgupta

This text proposes a framework for integrating ecology into economic models by valuing nature as a finite asset. It critiques traditional growth metrics and calls for a transformation in how global economies account for environmental resources.

brief_description
The models and metrics tells us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. However, this doesn't account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for free and treat as infinite- nature. For centuries we have been using it as if it were both, but we know now, more than ever, that our demand on the natural world is unsustainable. It's no longer sufficient to only see part of the picture; it's time that our economic models show us the whole thing. In On Natural Capital, renowned Cambridge economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal and groundbreaking new approach to economics. Challenging everything that has come before, he asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? -- dustjacket
