Summary:

"Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary academic theory that connects biophysical reality with political economy. According to ecological economics, all economic systems involve inherent relationships between humans and nature. Thus, value should be measured by more than money; in fact, value ultimately takes many different forms—a concept referred to as value pluralism—which raises many ethical issues. The central concern in ecological economics is how to organize economic processes to provide for people’s needs, respect nature and avoid ecological destruction, social inequity, and injustice"-- Provided by publisher
