Essays in Honour of Sir Partha Dasgupta
This book honours Partha Dasgupta, and the field he helped establish; environment and development economics. It concerns the relationship between social systems (to include families, local communities, national economies, and the world as a whole) and natural systems (critical ecosystems, forests, water resources, mineral deposits, pollution, fisheries, and the Earth&'s climate). Above all, it concerns the poverty-environment nexus: the complex pathways by which people become orremain poor, and resources become or remain overexploited. With contributions by some of the world&'s leading economists, including five recipients of the Nobel Prize in Economics, in addition to scholars based in developing countries, this volume offers a unique perspective on the environmental issuesthat matter most to developing countries.
