Overview

Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen deserves to be called the father of ecological economics. This book connects Georgescu-Roegen's earlier work such as consumer choice theory and a critique of Leontief's dynamic model, with his later ambitious attempt to reformulate the economic process as 'bioeconomics', a theoretical alternative to neoclassical economics.

Reviews

'Mayumi shows himself to be a master of the subject, and well ahead of most of his contemporaries in both the breadth and the depth of his treatment. The book should be in every university library and be essential reading for researchers.' - Ecological Economics 'Georgescu-Roegen would be proud to have someone as capable as Mayumi take up the reins of his work.' - Michael Perelman, Research History of Economic Thought and Methodology 'I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in examining the production system as a biophysical, as well as economic, process.' - Economica
