Frank Rotering. Paperback. New. Paperback. 232 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.5in.Humankind faces two formidable challenges in the 21st century: rapid ecological decline and continuing world poverty. The author argues that both problems are rooted in our economic concepts, which for the past 500 years have been powerfully shaped by the reality and ideology of capitalism. We must now develop a new mode of economic thought to guide us through the profound changes required to achieve sustainable and global well-being. To this end, the author proposes a set of terms, concepts, and analytical tools that are collectively known as the Economics of Needs and Limits, or ENL. Unlike conventional economic theories, which explain how an economy functions, ENL is a set of guiding principles that permits analysts to establish rational economic objectives. Such a framework is a requirement for moving our civilization beyond destructive growth and into the equitable, post-expansionary stage of its evolution. This item ships from multiple locations.

Humankind has reached an unprecedented situation: it has overshot the planet's ecological limits. The author argues in chapter one that the solution is to sharply reduce our ecological impact by replacing the expansionary logic of capitalism with a new logic designed for sustainable well-being. His proposal for this new logic, the Economics of Needs and Limits (ENL), is outlined in the remainder of the book. Paperback, Edition: 3rd ed. Label: Frank M. Rotering, Frank M.

Language: English. Brand new Book. The ecological crisis is urgently telling humankind that we must rapidly shift from growth-dependent capitalism to a sustainable economy. The Economics of Needs and Limits, or ENL, is an economic theory that is intended to guide us on this difficult journey. ENL is based on an ethical principle: all human beings, present and future, are of high and equal worth. From this starting point the author develops a conceptual framework to help analysts set rational objectives for outputs, population, and the economy's interactions with nature. The ultimate goal is to achieve sustainable well-being. Also included in the book are novel approaches to labor productivity and trade. The main distinguishing feature of the ENL framework is that it treats value and cost as objective factors, whereas both standard and ecological economics treat them as subjective factors. Under current environmental conditions the objective interpretations are necessary in order to align human needs and wants with the limitations of the natural world. The Economics of Needs and Limits is moderately technical. The book includes numerous graphs to illustrate concepts and a few basic formulas to permit rigorous expression. It should therefore be suitable for a college- or university-level course that introduces students to a sustainable mode of economic thought. It will also interest those who have examined ecological economics and have concluded that a more radical approach is required to tackle the existential crisis we face.
