Conservation and Economic Efficiency (eBook, ePUB)

An Approach To Materials Policy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Page addresses the range of issues that need to be considered in establishing a materials policy. They introduce the notion of equity and fairness based on John Rawls' original position, suggesting that representatives of the future would be unlikely to accept today's market allocation of virgin material extraction. This is built upon by addressing the many interrelated issues systematically. The result being a new perspective and synthesis that will be of interest to students and scholars alike.
