Description - Economic Development and the Environment by Raymond F Mikesell
This text explores the relationship between sustainable development and development economics. Development economics since World War II has been largely concerned with how non-Western countries can attain self-generation growth and broadly based economic and social progress. The central theme of the book is the way in which the environment and sustainability can be integrated into development strategies - a theme which is increasingly regarded as essential for progress in the future. Government intervention should be designed to prevent economic activity from overwhelming environmental capacity to absorb pollution, and from depleting and degrading the natural resource base. It is aimed at academics and students in economics, geography, development studies and related disciplines. Professional economists, international development agencies and others interested in the development field.
