Description
Must environmental and economic perspectives conflict? This has appeared a truism since the beginnings of the modern environmental movement, which appeared to demand the frustration of economic goals for the sake of non-economic—aesthetic or ethical—ends. The last twenty years have seen a revolution, however, as environmentally-inclined economists and entrepreneurs have asked us to look again at the true costs of environmental irresponsibility—and the potential profits that good stewards may achieve in an era of economic transformation.
