Technology, Globalization, and Sustainable Development: Transforming the Industrial State - Hardcover
Synopsis
In this book Nicholas A. Ashford and Ralph P. Hall offer a unified, transdisciplinary approach for achieving sustainable development in industrialized nations. They present an insightful analysis of the ways in which industrial states are currently unsustainable and how economic and social welfare are related to the environment, to public health and safety, and to earning capacity and meaningful and rewarding employment. The authors argue for the design of multipurpose solutions to the sustainability challenge that integrate economics, employment, technology, environment, industrial development, national and international law, trade, finance, and public and worker health and safety. This book is essential reading for anyone with a policy or scholarly interest in sustainable development and the critical roles of the economy, employment, and the environment.

“The main adjective characterizing this book is 'impressive'.

It advocates that economy should meet the needs for a meaningful employment and a stable working environment. In this way, the book has prospective capacity. It is impressive in its content: it provides the most comprehensive overview of issues in [sustainable development] I know.”—Luc Hens, Springer Journal (Luc Hens Springer Journal 2015-06-01)
