This book provides a radically different approach to achieving future global sustainability, one which is based on insight taken from the Industrial Revolution and highlights the importance of aligning economic interests with those of sustainability. Examining how environmental issues might be internalized within the economic system, it investigates how a systemic approach can be used to improve sustainability within society. It proposes the idea that society’s potential for turning towards a sustainable future needs to be understood in order to achieve meaningful change, and explores the role that technological innovation and changes in social systems can play in improving sustainability. Intended for researchers, policy-makers and graduate students, this book is also highly accessible to non-governmental organizations and economists.
