Reviews
Paul Anderson's book constitutes a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of unsustainable development, revealing the underlying political economy and regulatory causes of intensifying global ecological unsustainability. It demonstrates considerable scholarship, a firm grasp of a wide variety of different knowledge social scientific bases, debates, disciplinary perspectives and schools of thinking. It also, thankfully, provides some pertinent sources of hope in terms of the conditions and possibilities for effective global ecological governance in what is often a darkening field social scientific analysis of the contemporary human condition in relation to our ecocidal treatment of the planet. -John Barry, Professor of Green Political Economy, Queens University Belfast, author of The Politics of Actually Existing Unsustainability: Human Flourishing in a Climate-Change, Carbon Constrained World (Oxford University Press). Dr Anderson exposes the roulette wheel on which our sustainability bets are now placed. His analysis of this 'policy-masquerade of pricing' is sharp and cuts deep. His message is to the point; we need an institutional convergence on good governance rather than just more and more gambling to survive. --Aubrey Meyer, co-founder of Global Commons Institute.

His message is to the point; we need an institutional convergence on good governance rather than just more and more gambling to survive. Aubrey Meyer, co-founder of Global Commons Institute The book reviews a wealth of thought across different disciplines, which in itself is no mean feat,... [and] provides a rich interdisciplinary analysis of the current unsustainable organisation of human life on this planet, as well as points[s] to ways to resolving this global crisis that will provide interesting reading for an interdisciplinary audience from international lawyers, to economists, philosophers and political scientists . - Lucy Ford, Environmental Politics The book is timely, thoroughly researched, well-argued, and important politically ... Most importantly, Anderson's Reforming Law and Economy for a Sustainable Earth is tremendous in its ability to foster interdisciplinary conversations and to leverage such conversations as to render the scope of the book necessary rather than ill-advised.ã Anderson not only promises that his book will address a huge issue (reforming law and economy!) he also delivers in a way that might be of use to a wide readership. - Chase Hobbs-Morgan, Tulsa Law Review
