“The authors make a fundamental advance in economic thought, one that also provides a policy tool. They sharpen the concept of economic metabolism with a detailed analytical accounting of the metabolic flow from nature through the economy and back to nature, with attention to the different roles of stocks and flows, matter, energy, and value… Highly recommended!”—Herman Daly, Emeritus Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland.
