指出20世纪经济学对自然价值的忽视,通过理论分析揭示经济学被误用,导致对区域和全球性人口、生活水平与环境之间深层问题的关注被转移。

Abstract

Nature has been ill-served by 20th century economics. When asked, economists acknowledge nature’s existence, but most would appear to deny that she is worth much. If ecologists worry about the contemporary nexus between population size (and growth), the standard of living, and the natural environment, we economists point to the accumulation of capital and technological progress and say Malthus got it wrong. In this paper I show by an appeal to theory that economics has been so badly misused, that it has deflected attention from deep problems at the nexus that are faced both regionally and globally.
