Economics and the Environment

Climate change and other critical environmental challenges are reshaping economic policy and practice. In the 7th edition of Economics and the Environment, Dr. Eban Goodstein and new co-author, Dr. Stephen Polasky, provide students with a clear, concise, and comprehensive presentation of environmental and resource economics. The text also offers a compelling look at broader topics including the ethical foundations of environmental economics, the promotion of ''clean technology", and the challenges of sustainable development. With a unique framework and compelling narrative style, Goodstein & Polasky provide a timely synthesis of the economic tools available for understanding and solving environmental problems that are crucial for today's students to consider for tomorrow's world.
