Course Number:
C180
Course Title:
Ecological Economics in Historical Context
Instructor:
Norgaard
Description:
Economists through history have
explored economic and environmental interactions, physical limits to growth,
what constitutes the good life, and how economic justice can be assured. Yet
economists continue to use measures and models that simplify these issues and
promote bad outcomes. Ecological economics responds to this tension between
the desire for simplicity and the multiple perspectives needed to understand
complexity in order to move toward sustainable, fulfilling, just economies.
