Environment, Inequality and Collective ActionMarcello Basili, Maurizio Franzini, Alessandro Vercelli Psychology Press, 2006 - 251 pages Efficiency is the hallmark of environmental economics, and though economists are concerned with the environment, primarily because it challenges the efficiency of competitive markets, until now, limited attention has been paid to distributional issues. This excellent collection of essays identifies and addresses key issues surrounding the inequality-environment relationship such as: * Does increasing economic inequality lead to better or worse environmental quality? With an impressive array of contributors and an excellent mix of popular and noteworthy topics, this latest addition to the Routledge Siena Studies in Political Economyseries will prove essential to economists with an interest in the environment and will be useful to readers with a more general environmental studies background. |
