A természeti tőke
A gazdasági modellek félrevezetnek bennünket. Azt sugallják, hogy a társadalmak gazdasága bővül, a fejlődés töretlen marad. A legtöbb előrejelzés nem veszi figyelembe azt a tényt, hogy növekedésünket olyan erőforrás is hajtja, amelyet ingyen veszünk igénybe és kiapadhatatlannak tartunk: a természet.Partha Dasgupta neves cambridge-i közgazdász arra figyelmeztet bennünket, hogy a természet javai iránti igény és a természet által nyújtott kínálat között nagy a különbség. A világgazdaság sokáig adottnak tekintette a természetet, s most ennek a következményeit szenvedjük. A természetes élőhelyek megsemmisülése, erdők és édesvizek elvesztése csak néhány szembetűnő példa. Folytathatatlan az a gyakorlat, hogy a tőkepiacok nem árazzák be a természet használatát. Már látni a káros következményeit annak, hogy a vízi rendszereket vagy a légkört eddig a tőke és a piac ingyenesnek tekintette és a szükségletek felett kiaknázta.A természeti tőke szerzője szerint ehelyett a természet valós társadalmi értékével kell számolnunk. Csak így lehet fenntartható a jólétünk.

On Natural Capital
'Imagine a football team which measures its success only on the basis of the goals it scores and doesn't count the goals it concedes. That football team could be losing right through without recognising it…'
For as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture.
The models and metrics tells us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. However, this doesn't account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for free and treat as infinite: nature. For centuries we have been using it as if it were both, but we know now, more than ever, that our demand on the natural world is unsustainable. It's no longer sufficient to only see part of the picture; it's time that our economic models show us the whole thing.
In On Natural Capital, renowned Cambridge economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal and groundbreaking new approach to economics. Challenging everything that has come before, he asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else?
An urgent call to transform the focus and structures of global economics, On Natural Capital is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.
Lacná kniha Economics: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (-90%)
Economics has the capacity to offer us deep insights into some of the most formidable problems of life, and offer solutions to them too. Combining a global approach with examples from everyday life, Partha Dasgupta describes the lives of two children who live very different lives in different parts of the world: in the Mid-West USA and in Ethiopia. He compares the obstacles facing them, and the processes that shape their lives, their families, and their futures. He shows how economics uncovers these processes, finds explanations for them, and how it forms policies and solutions. Along the way, Dasgupta provides an intelligent and accessible introduction to key economic factors and concepts such as individual choices, national policies, efficiency, equity, development, sustainability, dynamic equilibrium, property rights, markets, and public goods.
