Series: Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy

The excessive pursuit of economic interests has resulted in severe environmental and social problems, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequality and disparity. There is an urgent need for broader measures of progress to complement Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This book provides a wide range of economic evaluations of environmental and societal issues including climate change, emission problem from garbage landfills, and income inequality. The book explains that sustainability indicators and well-being measures can be effective guide for policy making and how they can strike a balance between economic, environmental, and societal interests.

This book summarizes current practices and theories of economic evaluation for sustainability and provides understanding of emerging trends in this area. It also stresses the importance of environmental policies and business actions in achieving sustainable growth and puts forth why countries should take natural capital and other conventional inputs into consideration.

Reviews for Wealth, Inclusive Growth and Sustainability

'This collection of essays provides unarguably the most comprehensive study of the (inclusive) wealth of nations. It breaks new ground in the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of wealth even as it meets empirical problems of measurement. It's an outstanding piece of work.' — Sir Partha Dasgupta, Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Cambridge
