ECON 230A - Environmental and Ecological Economics

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Economics

Description:

Within the context of Sustainable Development, one cannot address the pressing issues of the global community without understanding the relationship between the economy, as a function of the social world, and ecology, a funtion of the natural world. Further complicating our understanding of development issues is the fact that the economic forces in play today are globalized in the same way that ecological forces work across the planet. This course applies creative research and the application of economic and ecological principles to the problems of sustainable development in a manner that allows the student to garner a deeper respect and appreciation for: 1) our responsibilities toward stewardship of the Lord's gifts; and 2) the moral imperative to harmonize our socio-economic structures with environmental realities.
