Human Well-Being and the Natural Environment: Eco-Friendly Products for Sustainable Living - Perfect for Home, Office & Outdoor Activities

Dasgupta reviews and establishes the intellectual foundations for evaluating changes in the environment and the impact on human well-being. He has written extensively on this topic and this book synthesizes that research. He is particularly concerned with the natural resources available to a population. His argument is that as natural resources are depleted human welfare declines even if the day-to-day living of people has not changed. He provides the mathematical and philosophical basis of how to account for such changes. (The math is at a basic level with a smattering of calculus.)Economists, policy-makers, political theorists, and philosophers are the intended audience, though it is so well written that layman could profitably read the work skipping the math.Economics: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)An Inquiry into Well-Being and Destitution
