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...

Do carbon taxes reduce emissions?
Do Carbon Taxes Reduce Emissions? The argument usually arrives disguised as arithmetic. A legislator holds up a chart, a pundit cites a gasoline price, an economist sketches a tidy curve on television. Carbon taxes, we are told, work because people respond to prices. Raise the cost of pollution and pollution declines. Elegant. Mechanical. Almost Newtonian. But carbon is not emitted by...

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 Can Development Economics Help Solve Global Problems?
How Can Development Economics Help Solve Global Problems? Development economics is a field dedicated to understanding and improving the economic conditions of low- and middle-income countries. It goes beyond abstract theory, focusing instead on real-world challenges such as poverty, inequality, health crises, environmental degradation, and lack of education. By combining data, policy design,...

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 Do Global Events Affect Economic Conditions?
How Do Global Events Affect Economic Conditions? Economic conditions do not exist in isolation. They are constantly shaped and reshaped by global events—ranging from geopolitical conflicts and pandemics to technological breakthroughs and environmental crises. In an increasingly interconnected world, even a localized incident can ripple across continents, influencing trade, investment,...

How do governments reduce pollution?
How Do Governments Reduce Pollution? A river does not argue. It carries the memory of a civilization in silence. Stand beside the lower stretch of the Cuyahoga River in the late 1960s and you would have smelled varnish, gasoline, sulfur, rot. The water itself could ignite. It did ignite. Flames climbed from the river’s surface like a deranged industrial miracle, and the photographs...

How do we grow economically without destroying the environment?
How Do We Grow Economically Without Destroying the Environment? The False Choice That Keeps Showing Up Every few years, somebody stands up and tells us we have to choose. We can have economic growth, they say, or we can have a healthy environment. Pick one. I've never bought that argument. Not because environmental challenges aren't real. They are. Anyone looking honestly at rising...

How does carbon pricing work?
How Does Carbon Pricing Work? There is a habit in economics, especially in rooms with polished tables and filtered air, to speak about carbon as though it were an abstraction. A metric. A unit. A derivative of energy consumption. Yet carbon dioxide is physical. It leaves a tailpipe warm. It rises from a smokestack with the invisible confidence of empire. It lingers in oceans that absorb heat...

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...
