Hardcover (1997)

This volume focuses on the breakdown in sustainability, the capacity of the planet to provide quality of life now and in the future - that is signaled by disaster. The authors bring to light why land use and sustainability have been ignored in devising public policies that deal with natural hazards. They lay out a vision of sustainability, concrete suggestions for policy reform, and procedures for planning.

For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy Toward Community, the Environment, and a Sustainable Future by Herman Daly, John Cobb, Clifford Cobb Paperback (1994)

Daly (economist, the World Bank) and Cobb (philosophy, Claremont Graduate School) expose the outmoded abstractions of mainstream economic theory. They conclude, in particular, that economic growth -- the prevailing yardstick for measuring economic success -- is no longer an appropriate goal as energy consumption, overpopulation, and pollution increase. Instead, they propose a new measure for the economy -- the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
