"Originally published as ... Nutzen wir die Erde rightig [i.e. richtig]? : die Leistungen der Natur und die Arbeit des Menschen by Friedrich Schmidt-Bleek. Ed. by Klaus Wiegandt"--T.p. verso. Includes bibliographical references (p. [214]-220). The Earth in motion -- The true price of things -- The ecological metric -- The economy's metabolism -- Consequences for the Earth -- Services and their utility -- The Earth in our hands. "The services of nature - essential for man's survival - are being damaged by our everyday economic processes. For the past 15 years, Professor Schmidt-Bleek has demanded a dematerialization of our economies by a factor of 10. This is technically possible, without a reduction in our standard of living. However, a significant adjustment of the economic framework is required."-back cover. |
