From the publisher

Valuing the Earth collects more than twenty classic and recent essays that broaden economic thinking by setting the economy in its proper ecological and ethical context. They vividly demonstrate that, contrary to current macroeconomic preoccupations, continued growth on a planet of finite resources cannot be physically or economically sustained and is morally undesirable.

Among the issues addressed are population growth, resource use, pollution, theology (east and west), energy, and economic growth. Their common theme is the notion, popular with classical economists from Malthus to Mill, that an economic stationary state is more healthful to life on earth than unlimited growth. A number of essays in the first edition have become classics and have been retained for this edition, which adds six new essays.

First line

The basic rule that for every independent policy goal we must have an independent policy instrument has been emphasized by Professor Jan Tinbergen (On the Theory of Economic Policy, Amsterdam: North Holland Press, 1952) but seems to have been forgotten in recent discussion.
