Sinopsis

This book asks the question, how would economics look today and into the future if one started with a blank sheet of paper? Written mainly for a technical audience, yet accessible to the lay reader,áEconomics of a Crowded Planet addresses the ontology, epistemology and methodology of a future economics as if from outside the economy looking in.áIt presents a conceptual framework for a future economics drawing from systems science and hierarchy theory, integrating central concepts from present-day economics, so as to orient the field in a direction that can serve societyâÇÖs future needs in practical ways.áThe exposition reveals a paradigm calledáâÇÖmarket planetarianismâÇÖ: the idea that the power of markets may be used to steer the economy toward a desired long-term goal.á Both a prescriptive doctrine and an economic methodology, it treats the economy and nature as instances of complex, evolutionary systems, demanding analytical tools quite unlike those of the 20th-century mainstream.
