The Economic Ecosystem: Quantifying Earth's Natural Resources
For centuries, economic models have treated nature as a passive backdrop, a limitless source of resources to be exploited. But this short-sighted view has come at a devastating cost. In "The Economic Ecosystem," we challenge this paradigm, using compelling data and real-world case studies to unveil the hidden economic power of our planet's ecosystems.
From the storm protection provided by wetlands to the climate regulation of rainforests, we demonstrate how investing in natural capital is not just an environmental imperative, but a sound economic strategy. This book provides a data-driven framework for understanding the true value of nature, advocating for policies that promote sustainability, and building a future where economic prosperity and ecological health go hand in hand.
