Editorial Reviews
Review
– Dominique Bourg, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
Crisis, Innovation and Sustainable Development is a fascinating exploration at the frontiers of economics and ecology. It combines topical surveys of current work with deep reflection on the repressed role of nature in the history of economics. A work of great range and value, especially for all concerned with the strategy of economic policy going forward.
— James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin, US
