The economic crisis is not the result of what could be called a rare probability event (\"a perfect storm\"), but rather the unavoidable outcome of an economic paradigm that dominated policy-making since the early eighties, one that has come to view the natural resource base as simply another asset to be exploited. At the same time, we are trapped in a vicious environmental predicament. We are not only threatened by stagnation, deflation, unemployment and poverty. Our world is also menaced by climate change, deforestation, soil erosion, polluted aquifers and a man-made event of mass extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking Macroeconomics of Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e explores the relationship between macroeconomic policies and environmental sustainability, arguing that monetary and fiscal policies are as important for environmental stewardship as they are for growth and prosperity — something that has not been adequately recognized thus far.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038106763504,"sku":"9781848135062","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848135062_p0.jpg?v=1763750448","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848135062","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
