What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘the most important person you’ve never heard of’ – The New York Times * The New York Times *‘Economics is a discipline that shapes decisions of the utmost consequence, and so matters to us all. [Partha Dasgupta] at last puts biodiversity at its core and provides the compass we urgently need… by bringing economics and ecology together, we can help save the natural world at what may be the last minute – and in doing so, save ourselves.’ – David AttenboroughThis is the best book in economics for a general reader since Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. * Paul R. Ehrlich *
