'An excellent introduction to a rapidly developing branch of
political economics ... the scope for debate is one of the things
that makes this pioneering book so exciting.'
Richard Douthwaite, Feasta, the Foundation for the Economics of
Sustainability 'Ground-breaking ... I think her book is insightful,
and contains many remarkable policy ideas'
John-Paul Flintoff, The Sunday Times 'Here is a book which explains
in clear terms the economic paradigm for the 21st Century.'
Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP and leader of the UK Greens 'Green
Economics will be an invaluable aid.'
James Robertson, Pioneer of the New Economics 'What is particularly
refreshing in this account of a sustainable economy is the author's
positive language and practical thinking ... At last, here is a
serious book on economics which has a clear narrative and is
enjoyable to read.'
Green World 'It is a serious book written by the grown-up version
of the kinds of people who are currently invading airports,
chaining themselves to those coal
trucks on the way to power stations and populating climate camps.
...I was convinced by many if not most of the arguments being put
forward in this textbook. I found it clearly and consistently
enough written to read from beginning to end without getting bored
and I thought, at the end, if I were to be asked to teach a course
on economic geography, then this is what I would turn to.'
Journal of Economic Geography 'A fine reader for any college-level
class in world economics and ecology.'
The Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review, July 2010. 'Highly recommended
to all budding 'economists'!'
Brian Leslie, Sustainable Economics.
