Description:
''Quantitative Eco–nomics'' cuts through the fog of vision and advocacy by comparing and applying new quantitative tools of both environmental and ecological economics.

At the same time the opaque concept fosters contradictory policy advice, or worse, inaction. Do we need zero– or accelerated economic growth? Should we reduce conspicuous consumption or enjoy spending as we see fit? Will rules and regulation or adjusted markets prevent environmental disaster?
