Valuing Nature? argues that responding to this concern by economic valuation of the environment as a consumer good only makes matters worse. The book brings together philosophers, economists and sociologists to put the case for a new and more creative approach to environmental policy. The discussion covers:  the structure of environmental policy-making  the current orthodoxy in environmental economics and its deficiencies  the deeper problems with contingent valuation surveys and cost-benefit analysis for environmental decisions  alternative valuation methods Embracing three disciplines, this book is nevertheless written in a clear, accessible style. It includes chapters by Geoff Hodgson, Clive Spash, Michael Jacobs, Brian Wynne and John ONeill. Its ground-breaking critique and suggestions will be of great interest both to specialists in the field and to students of the disciplines concerned; it has important messages for anyone concerned with how decisions about the environment are made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51858968674592,"sku":"NEW0415148758","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61UVmd-aNSL.jpg?v=1781585094","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/valuing-nature-economics-ethics-and-environment-0415148758","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
