Summary:

Produced by a team of World Bank staff, and incorporating external contributions, this report combines the perspectives of political economy and social psychology to investigate ways to achieve growth that is affordable, sustainable, and applicable worldwide for all countries, whether developed or developing. Coverage includes the feasibility of green growth and the implications for welfare; the range of tools available to change behaviors of firms, consumers, and policy makers with respect to environmental and natural resources; navigating between market and governance failures through the careful use of innovation and industrial policies; implications for job creation; and managing natural capital effectively. The text concludes with a proposed framework for building an inclusive green growth strategy. No subject index is provided. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
