Conventional economics has too often either ignored these costs or failed to analyse them appropriately. This book constructs a framework within which the wider impacts of economic activity can be both understood and ameliorated. The framework places its emphasis on an in-depth understanding of real-life processes rather than on mathematical formalism, sressing the independence of the economy with the social, ecological and ethical dimensions of human life.Economic developmentEconomicsEconomicsSociological aspectsEconomic developmentEconomic TheoryHILCCBusiness & EconomicsHILCCElectronic books.Economic development.Economics.EconomicsSociological aspectsEconomic developmentEconomic TheoryBusiness & Economics330Ekins Paul124778Max-Neef Manfred A127045FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910449754903321Real-life economics2252903UNINA
