{"product_id":"valuing-nature","title":"Valuing Nature?","description":"The state of the environment is now widely acknowledged as a serious cause for concern. 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 O’Neill. 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.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55021793378648,"sku":"9780415129787","price":241.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415129787_ad7436c5-cf25-4a78-9269-209821a60504.jpg?v=1779344126","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/valuing-nature","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
