* Global Environmental Economics: Equity and the Limits to Markets
represents a stimulating collaboration by economists, ethicists,
political scientists, demographers, and ecologists from around the
world.
* By focusing on the implications for future generations and the people of developing countries, the editors provide an alternative to standard approaches that have concentrated on the short-term solutions consumers or markets are willing to support.
* The book illustrates that the issues of equity can be applied to global environmental problems as well as take a more central role in economic theory. It contends that new developments in social-choice theory offer a better foundation than traditional welfare economics.
