On Natural Capital wer. angielska

Imagine a football team that assesses its performance solely based on the number of goals it scores, ignoring the ones it lets in. Such a team could consistently fail without realizing it. Similarly, traditional economic models have long provided us with an incomplete view. They indicate that our economies are thriving merely because they are expanding. Yet, this perspective neglects the critical fact that our growth relies on exploiting nature as if it were an endless resource, available at no cost. For generations, we've operated under this assumption, but it's increasingly clear that this approach is unsustainable. We must now broaden our outlook to include the full picture.In his influential work, "On Natural Capital," esteemed Cambridge economist Sir Partha Dasgupta presents a revolutionary approach to economics. He questions established paradigms by proposing that we assign value to nature in the same manner we value other assets. This work serves as a pressing call to overhaul the priorities and frameworks of global economics. "On Natural Capital" is a pioneering and transformative book with the potential to initiate profound change.
