Description

Time and the Generations blends economics, philosophy, and ecology to offer an original lens on the difficult topic of global population. Partha Dasgupta provides tentative answers to two fundamental questions: What level of economic activity can our planet support over the long run, and what does the answer say about optimum population numbers?
