'Nobbs has provided a scholarly and well referenced integration of economic theory with ethics, all within the context of ecological economics and the biophysical limits to the scale of the human economy, most specifically exemplified by climate change. A fine contribution to building bridges between different modes of thinking.' - Herman E. Daly, Professor Emeritus, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, USA. 'Nobbs's book helps us better understand the current landscape of contemporary economics and its intellectual vicinity, while outlining a thought-provoking proposal about how we should be thinking and doing economics in the 21st century. Yet at the same time the book sets the stage for an informed discussion about the variety of possible alternatives that may not take the direction Nobbs advocates.' - Paul Dragos Aligica, Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics
