Humanity faces a number of environmental problems. The worldview or mental maps of many powerful actors in society is however very much influenced by neoclassical economics and this economics has its limits particularly in relation to environmental and development issues. An alternative conceptual framework is presented in terms of political economic man, political economic organization, markets interpreted in political economic terms, an alternative idea of decision-making, efficiency and decision tools. It is argued that neoclassical economics has a role in relation to environmental degradation but only as part of co-existence with other theoretical approaches.
Jag har ingen säker siffra när det gäller upplaga. Boken säljer fortfarande men naturligtvis i lägre grad än den nya boken från 2008
