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. 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomics$xSociological aspects 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic Theory$2HILCC 606 $aBusiness & Economics$2HILCC 615 4$aEconomic development. 615 4$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomics$xSociological aspects 615 0$aEconomic development 615 7$aEconomic Theory 615 7$aBusiness & Economics 676 $a330 701 $aEkins$b Paul$0124778 701 $aMax-Neef$b Manfred A$0127045 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820643503321 996 $aReal-life economics$93960604 997 $aUNINA
