What if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else?
For as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture. The models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. However, this doesn't account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for free and treat as infinite: nature. We know now, more than ever, that our demand on the natural world is unsustainable. It's no longer sufficient to only see part of the picture; it's time that our economic models show us the whole thing.
An urgent call from renowned Cambridge economist Sir Partha Dasgupta to transform the focus and structures of global economics, On Natural Capital is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.
'the most important person you've never heard of' - The New York Times
'Partha Dasgupta provides the compass we urgently need... by bringing economics and ecology together, we can help save the natural world at what may be the last minute - and in doing so, save ourselves.' - David Attenborough
