Markets, Deliberation and Environment
ISBN: 9780415397117 / Angielski / Twarda / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is the source of our environmental problems? Why is there in modern societies a persistent tendency to environmental damage? From within neoclassical economic theory there is a straightforward answer to those questions: it is because environmental goods and harms are unpriced. They come free.

The source of environmental problems... What is the source of our environmental problems? Why is there in modern societies a persistent tendency to environmental damage? From within neocl... |
