Ecological Constraints and the Global Economy (paperback)

The essays in this study contribute to an analysis of the prospects for the world's economy in the face of environmental constraints. The contributors examine the implications of development in both northern and southern hemispheres, and the extreme differences between rich and poor nations in the distribution of income, resource use and consumption. Using extensive case studies from WIDER-sponsored research, the text explores the limits and consequences of further development.

This peer-reviewed research is available free of charge. UNU-WIDER believes that research is a global public good and supports Open Access.
