New collection on ecological economics

Perrings, C. 2008. Ecological Economics, Vols I-IV, London, SAGE.

This four volume collection covers the origins and development of the field of ecological economics. Volume I traces the roots of the field by identifying the sources of key ideas in the two hundred years before the term ecological economics was coined.  It argues that most important progenitors of the field were Thomas Malthus, John Stewart Mill, Charles Darwin, Harold Hotelling and Scott Gordon.  Volume 2 examines the way in which ecological economists model coupled ecological-economic systems. It covers the structure of the joint system, the feedbacks between the economic and ecological components, the (spatial) dynamics of the system, and the impact of alternative institutions on the management and control of the ecological component of the system. Volume III focuses on the economics of ecosystem services, and includes critical contributions on the value of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and the derivation that value from people’s willingness to pay for final goods and services. Volume IV concentrates on the development and implementation of the concept of sustainability. It includes both important baseline documents, such as the Brundtland Report, and later attempts to explore both the theory and practice of sustainable management of coupled ecological-economic systems.
