The Sustainable Economy

“Conventional, neoclassical economics has failed resoundingly to deal with the climate crisis: as The Sustainable Economy makes clear it is a market failure, an intellectual failure, and a moral failure. We clearly can’t rely on the tools that have gotten us into this mess to get us out, and Robert S. Devine suggests some of the alternative possibilities.” ⁠—Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy“Activists, students, and policymakers stand to learn much from this deep dive into environmental economics.”⁠—Kirkus

Robert S. Devine has been writing about the environment and natural history for many years. His articles have appeared in scores of publications, including The Atlantic and the Los Angeles Times. He has authored and coauthored more than a dozen books, most of them published by the National Geographic Society.
