This text looks on the role economic theory plays in present-day ecological policy from a philosophical perspective. It starts from fundamental questions concerning the nature of the problem of sustainability, of politics, and of economic science. It confronts the results of this investigation with the theoretical work of two prominent present-day economists. The book is written at a high academic level. It should be of interest to environmentalists, environmental economists, and for policy people charged with ecological problems.
