Sustainability Economics
The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series
Synopsis
The unprecedented advances in economic development witnessed over the past decades cannot continue if economic progress comes at the expense of the natural environment. The Sustainable Development Goals, agreed globally in 2015, define a vision of human development where economic, social and environmental domains interact to shape the prospects for future prosperity. This timely literature review highlights the contribution of economics to the study of sustainable development. It discusses some of the most influential articles on the topic by economists over the past fifty years. Environmental sustainability, an inherently interdisciplinary topic, is analysed from the perspectives of applied microeconomics, environmental and resource economics, ecological economics, development economics and public economics. Written by two subject experts, this research review is indispensable for anyone interested or working in the field.

What Reviewers Are Saying
'The papers in this volume - many of them classics- portray economic activity, the state of the natural environment, and human wellbeing as being inextricably connected. As a collection, Sustainability Economics does more than establish where the field stands today. It also includes papers that mark the twists and turns that led researchers to this understanding. Atkinson and Fankhauser have curated an essential resource for anyone wanting to understand and to contribute to this literature.' -- Scott Barrett, Columbia University, US
