The economic use of the Earth's surface has impacts on the climate and the habitats of both humans and animals. To understand economic relationships under these conditions, disciplinary boundaries must be overcome. Oliver Schlaudt provides a new generation of economists with the interdisciplinary tools necessary for independent work in the field of ecological economics. He introduces students of economics to fundamental concepts and insights from philosophy, natural sciences, cultural studies, and social sciences in an easily understandable way, which are essential for exploring economic processes in and with nature. This volume thus makes the foundations of an economy in the Anthropocene comprehensible and is aimed at anyone interested in sustainable economic practices and heterodox approaches.
