Bøger af Herman Daly

Herman E. Daly er verdens førende og mest velrenommerede økologiske økonom. Der er vægt bag hans bog og vægt bag hans argumenter, når han punkt for punkt tager den etablerede nationaløkonomis dogmer under behandling.En lang række af hans kritikpunkter rammer i øvrigt ikke blot liberale økonomer og politikere. Marxistiske økonomer og deres antropocentriske forestillinger står også for skud. Daly hævder, at betingelsen for en bæredygtig økonomisk udvikling i dag er, at vi - politikerne, økonomerne, befolkningerne - erkender, at økonomi er en del af økosystemerne, og at økonomisk udvikling og vækst derfor må anskues i forhold til, hvad økosystemerne, dvs. økonomiens omgivelser kan bære.
