Chapter 1: Evolution of ideas for natural resources and the environment
Authors: Protopapas, Angelos
Description:
Abstract:
Chapter 1 discusses, in chronological order, the evolution of economic thought on resource scarcity and the environment, beginning with Adam Smith's liberal views on the growth of the wealth of nations, continuing with classical writers such as Malthus, Ricardo, Mill, and Jevons, and ending with the recent period, which includes twentieth-century thinkers such as Pigou, Boulding, Huxley, Simon, and Coase. Some important international conferences are also discussed, such as the Stockholm Conference, the Montreal Conference, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (known as Rio 1992), and the 1997 Kyoto Conference on Global Warming, where the majority of countries agreed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to address climate change.
