Managing Without Growth |
Peter A. Victor, Professor in Environmental Studies, York University, Canada
|
|
|
‘Peter Victor clearly presents the arguments as to why already relatively rich countries may have to manage low or no growth in their economies if they wish to address rather than continue contributing to global environmental problems. His modelling suggests that managing without growth need not be the economic disaster that is so often assumed. This is a lucid book that provides an excellent introduction to this important but neglected area.’
– Paul Ekins, King's College London, UK
