Ecological Economics is about the interaction between humans and the environment via the economy. It starts from the premise that the economy is limited by the constraint of our planet's finite resources. It rejects the mainstream economics goal of continued economic growth and proposes instead a steady state economy.

  1. I love this video. It explains it all so well for everyone to easily understand. Unfortunately, I have in-laws who are completely against this and claim it to be 'anti-american propoganda.' What can we do to enlighten this kind of narrow-minded attitude?
