Good video that was passed on by my Enviromental Econ professor (that i have to do a paper on :evil: ). I'm sure many of you will enjoy this..

Also, if any of you students are doing a research paper on povery, here is a good site concerning world progress that isnt written by a marxist.

Yep.. Over the past 5 decades, enviromental economics has been an enormously important field when it comes to managing negative externalities thus influencing public policy..

Decided to take the class and see what the fuss was all about. Good professor, interesting stuff.

So whose work do you focus on? I suppose Daly would be quite prominent in a course of that nature, as well as Costanza and Hotelling?
