These key characteristics are: self-regulating cycles of key materials, a plentiful and durable energy source, an ability to adjust to changing circumstances, and the capacity for resiliency in the face of unpredictable disruptions. In separate chapters, each of these natural attributes are applied to our economy and 20 polices are recommended to shift our economy toward each of these objectives. The policies include marketable waste emission permits, a ""carbon"" tax, split-rate property taxation,Routledge studies in ecological economics ;8.Environmental economicsEconomic policyEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental policyEconomic aspectsElectronic books.Environmental economics.Economic policyEnvironmental aspects.Environmental policyEconomic aspects.333.7338.927Williams Bob(Robert B.),870520MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460020703321Greening the economy2230491UNINA
