Sustainability: If It's Everything, Is It Nothing? Heather M. Farley and Zachary A. Smith is an English-language study book on sustainable development. This book is intended for students in higher education and addresses current debates surrounding the concept of sustainability.
The authors argue that a new conceptualization is needed to balance the environment, the economy, and social justice for future generations. Despite widespread attention, the concept of sustainability remains unclear and sometimes misused. This work introduces the notion of neo-sustainability, a renewed definition that places the natural limits of the environment at the center and highlights the interplay between the environment, the economy, and society.
The book includes in-depth analyses of the application and misuse of sustainability, supported by practical examples. It is essential for anyone concerned with environmental policy and sustainable development.
Topics fit with Political science and theory, International relations, and BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Sustainable Development.
