Jason Scorse: "Waht Environmentalists Need To Know About Economics"
Monterey Institute of International Studies
"Academic disciplines are often separated by gulfs of mutual incomprehension, but the deepest and widest may be the one that separates most economists from most environmentalists...What underlies this is not so much disagreements about facts as disagreement about how to think."
~ Never The Twain Shall Meet. (2002, January 31). The Economist.
"This book was inspired by the warm reception I received from a short essay I wrote back in 2005 entitled, 'Why Environmentalists Should Embrace Economics.' The target audience is those interested in environmental issues with an eye towards actually solving them: students, citizens, policy‐makers, and activists. No economics background is required for this text, although some basic microeconomics knowledge is helpful. Even those with more advanced training in economics may find some new perspectives in this volume that they may have not considered before."
