{"product_id":"environment-and-employment-hardback","title":"Environment and Employment - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eMounting evidence suggests that GDP growth is damaging the natural environment and unlikely to be ecologically sustainable in the long-run. At the same time, an annual GDP growth rate of around three percent is regarded as the minimum necessary to prevent unemployment from escalating. Clearly, a trade-off exists between environmental goals and employment goals, yet this trade-off has been largely ignored or denied. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book aims to resolve the environment-employment dilemma by suggesting ways and means to achieve low rates of unemployment, or preferably full employment, in the context of a low-growth or steady-state economy. In search of a solution to this dilemma, this book seeks to answer the following questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat existing paradigms offer a possible foundation for further investigation into issues dealing with both the environment and employment?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat specific initiatives can be implemented to deal with unemployment given that any potential solution must be consistent with responsible macroeconomic policy?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eTo what extent can ecological tax reform provide a solution to the environment-employment dilemma?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnder what circumstances is it clear that certain forms of employment generation are antithetic to the goal of ecological sustainability? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can more favourable employment-generating opportunities be exploited in ways which lower unemployment or achieve full employment without the need for ecologically-destructive GDP growth?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will no doubt stimulate a broader discussion on the issue, and it may just begin a process that leads to the eventual emergence of a viable policy strategy to generate a sustainable, full employment future.
