Is economic development reachable on an exhausted planet? Based on state-of-the-art knowledge in economics, this book provides a mixed answer.
Greener behaviour and technologies may potentially release environmental pressure while allowing future generations to be better off.
However, we are far off track, due to a mixture of inappropriate institutions and adverse incentives.
The book explains why it is the case in a rigorous way, combining facts, concepts and relevant references.
The book does not require previous knowledge in economics. It is of interest for social or natural sciences students who are eager to know how economics can help identify the Gordian knots and devise appropriate solutions.
