Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding such accounts of national wealth as Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Product to stand for all that is unsustainable and to be a relic to an industrial age that has passed and must be repudiated, European and North American scholars of accounting, economics, and politics describe an approach to accounting that is compatible with ecological economics. In a dozen studies they cover the history of national accounts, green accounting as a policy instrument, and uses of green accounting. The intended readers are scholars of ecological economics, environmental studies, and business and national accounting. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
