Prosperity, Poverty and Pollution: Managing the Approaching Crisis - Softcover

This book stands out amid the many works critical of mainstream economics for its author’s reader-friendly intention to make accessible the problems of how countries in the South can develop successfully, what to do about social injustice and poverty, and the global environmental destruction that is proceeding apace. Klaus Nürnberger has transcended his background as an economist to present a holistic analysis of the human and environmental failings of our current market economy. He draws on recent thinking in a variety of disciplines, and his arguments relate both to political economy and to people’s worldviews.
