Can economic growth be sustainable?
Can Economic Growth Be Sustainable? A century ago, a forest in the Pacific Northwest could absorb the errors of an economy. Rivers carried away dyes and solvents. Soil swallowed metals. Air diluted smoke. Human ambition was buffered by abundance. The Earth functioned as a forgiving parent, not because it was infinite, but because industrial civilization was still comparatively small. Today the...

Does capitalism harm the environment?
Does Capitalism Harm the Environment? A river does not invoice the forest for carrying nutrients downstream. A bee does not submit a quarterly earnings report after pollinating an orchard. The atmosphere, despite serving as the largest waste repository in human history, has never sent a collection notice to an oil company. Nature functions through reciprocity, feedback, and astonishing...

How do countries balance growth and conservation?
How Do Countries Balance Growth and Conservation? There is a photograph I return to every few years. It was taken from orbit at night. The Korean Peninsula glows unevenly, a neural map of civilization. South Korea burns with electric density, while the North appears as a darkened coastline interrupted by faint municipal embers. Economists see GDP. Ecologists see energy throughput. Politicians...

How does economics affect the environment?
How Does Economics Affect the Environment? There is a moment, standing in an old-growth forest, when economics appears absurd. Not wrong. Not malicious. Simply too small. The trees do not invoice the atmosphere for oxygen. Rivers do not submit expense reports after flooding a delta with nutrients. A mycorrhizal network beneath the soil—those astonishing fungal webs trading carbon and...

Is environmental economics a good field?
Is Environmental Economics a Good Field? There is a moment, quiet and almost embarrassing in its simplicity, when a person realizes the economy is not separate from the Earth. It happens in strange places. A dry reservoir. A grocery receipt. A wildfire smoke alert arriving before breakfast. A fishing village where the boats remain tied because the water has warmed three degrees and the fish...

Is environmental protection expensive?
Is Environmental Protection Expensive? The question arrives dressed as economics, but it is almost always a question about imagination. A river catches fire once and people call it tragedy. A river catches fire twice and investors call it uncertainty. A river catches fire three times and economists quietly rename it “externalized cost.” Language has a way of laundering smoke. For...

Should governments tax pollution?
Should Governments Tax Pollution? The river looked anesthetized. Not dead. Worse. Alive in a diminished way, as if life itself had signed a compromise agreement. I remember standing beside the Cuyahoga years after the famous fire, watching the water move under a film of industrial sheen that caught the afternoon sun like a bruise. Nearby, a father cast a fishing line with the stubborn...

What are externalities in economics?
What Are Externalities in Economics? The first time I understood externalities, I was standing beside a river that looked alive and dead at once. It was in northern California after a season of hard rain. The water moved with muscular force, carrying branches, leaves, fragments of hillsides. Yet the river smelled faintly metallic. A paper mill upstream had been discharging waste for...

What are the goals of environmental economics?
What Are the Goals of Environmental Economics? There is a moment, standing beside a river at dawn, when economics appears absurd. The river does not issue invoices. Cottonwoods do not submit quarterly earnings. Soil never sends a balance sheet to the moon. Yet every economy, every skyscraper, pension fund, semiconductor, loaf of bread, and cargo ship begins as sunlight translated through...

What careers exist in environmental economics?
What Careers Exist in Environmental Economics? A river does not submit invoices. A forest does not issue receipts. The atmosphere, despite carrying the exhalations of eight billion people and the ash of entire civilizations, remains unpaid. Yet every economy on Earth is nested inside these living systems as surely as lungs sit inside a chest. Environmental economics emerged from that...
