Economics for People and the Planet, a collection of essays by James K. Boyce on the environment, inequality, and the economy, argues that there is not an inexorable trade-off between advancing human well-being and having a clean and safe environment.

As we are now halfway through 2023, this leads us to calculate that we will witness the appearance of $2 trillion in new dollars of economic activity within this rapidly expanding sector of the global economy. For me, there is one very important question that arises with this understanding. If we KNOW where $2 trillion of new economic activity is going to show up, and can ...
