Reviews
"This textbook and the philosophy underlying its creation represents an integrated approach to putting nature and humanity at the heart of economics and finance. Erudite, complex without being overly opaque, and most of all challenging, it should become a keystone text as we move forward towards reclaiming economics and finance as anthropocentric social sciences."—Brian Lucey, Professor of Finance, Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin.
“Many economists still dream of an economic world that, following natural laws, would spontaneously converge towards a general market equilibrium, if we let it. The time for dreaming has given way to the nightmares of financial crises, growing social inequality around the world and global warming that leaves us no choice but to act. This book deals with the reality of how the economy works, a much more complex and uncertain world, where money and finance can justify other policies. It opens the way to understanding the challenges of the 21st century”.—Edwin Le Heron, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po Bordeaux - Centre Émile Durkheim CNRS 5116.
“Rethinking money and debt through the prism of the common good rather than guilt, defending a truly sustainable approach to finance, reconsidering the crushing weight of short-term profitability in financial models, this book tackles with seriousness and competence the renewal of economic thought so that it can no longer be an obstacle but a help in confronting the great challenges of the 21st century, starting with climate change. This book is an essential contribution to the development of humanist and ecological economic thought. It is written by high quality researchers from the French branch of the SDSN, gathered around the talented Thomas Lagoarde-Segot."—Nicolas Dufrêne, Director of the Institut Rousseau.
