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...

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 is environmental economics?
What Is Environmental Economics? There is a peculiar arrogance in modern economics. It assumes that if a thing cannot be priced, it either does not matter or will somehow correct itself through the mystical operations of “the market.” A forest becomes lumber inventory. A river becomes industrial input. A fishery becomes a quarterly earnings report waiting to happen. And when the...

What is pollution in economic terms?
What Is Pollution in Economic Terms? There is a habit in modern economics of describing the living world as though it were a rounding error. A forest becomes “timber inventory.” A river becomes a “resource input.” A child with asthma near a refinery becomes an “externality.” The language itself performs a kind of laundering. Smoke leaves a stack, enters...

What is the difference between environmental economics and ecology?
What Is the Difference Between Environmental Economics and Ecology? A forest does not recognize a balance sheet.A river does not invoice a factory for mercury.A bee does not submit a quarterly earnings report before pollinating an orchard in California. And yet human civilization has built an astonishing architecture of numbers around living systems that operate almost entirely outside...

Why is environmental economics important?
Why Environmental Economics Matters More Than Most Economists Admit The modern economist suffers from a peculiar superstition: he believes prices emerge from nowhere, production occurs in a vacuum, and prosperity can somehow be detached from the physical world that sustains it. He speaks fluently about GDP growth while rivers die quietly behind industrial parks. He models consumption curves...
