Paperback. Condition: New. Emerging from the fields of ecological restoration and economics, this interdisciplinary book delivers a clear path to restoring our economies in a way that speaks well to industry groups and business owners, students and the general public, and to policy makers. There are proven relationships between ecology and economics. Giordanengo employs those relationships in an intriguing way and integrates them with global case studies to argue that redesigning economic systems according to ecological principles is necessary to balancing critical social, environmental, and economic goals. For example, he reveals how more obscure ecological principles and theories-succession, evolution, diversity-productivity curves, and so on-can inform the restructuring of economic systems that are resilient, productive, and regenerative.A variety of students and practitioners have read the first edition, or attended John's seminars, only to remark "Why haven't we learned this in our traditional coursework?" or "This book brings so much clarity to the fields of sustainability and environmental sciences."Traditional approaches to sustainability focus on the social, environmental, and economic pillars of an economy, while paying little attention to the foundation those pillars rest upon. A comprehensive focus on our economy's foundational components has been ignored for good reason; we have lacked an understanding of what they are or how they interact with one another. Cross-cutting research between ecological and economic systems reveals three foundational components (i.e., drivers) common to both systems. The effective management of these components is perhaps the most important obstacle to resolving current tensions between society, nature and the global market economy.The scale at which diversity, energy and trade must be managed is also justified by self-regulating ecosystems such as jungles, prairies, and pine forests. That scale is not global, nor is it hyper local. The economic and ecological rationale agree that the scale of a sustainable economy-the natural geography of humans- is regional. To the contrary, the attempt to manage our economy at a global scale has given rise to chronic social, environmental, and economic symptoms across earth. In highly developed countries such as the United States, these symptoms include flat real wages and productivity growth, a growing wealth gap, degraded environmental conditions, rising social unrest, and more.The closing chapters outline a natural path for restoring our economies, illuminated by humanities shared experience in ecological restoration. The process of ecosystem recovery following disturbance (i.e., succession) is one such pathway. Unwittingly, developed nations such as the United States mange succession to concentrate wealth into fewer hands, while lowering the economy's productive capacity, net productivity, and resistance to future disturbances. Economic policies can also move the succession dial toward the p.

Paperback. Condition: New. Winner, International Impact Book Award 2026. Appeals to a broad range of people across ages, values and political beliefs, and will change the way we live our livesIntegrating the fields of ecology and economics with practical business and conservation experience, this book delivers a clear path to restoring our economies to a sustainable state. The result is not a decline in our freedoms, values, and quality of life, but a means to sustaining them in a turbulent 21st century.Students, business owners, and consumers have read this book and attended John's seminars only to remark, "Why haven't we learned this in our traditional coursework?" or "This book brings so much clarity to the fields of sustainability and environmental sciences."Intuitively, many of us sense some universal relationships exist between Earth's ecological and economic systems. For Giordanengo, the most insightful relationships were not the ones he first imagined as a business and ecology student in the early 1990s. This book not only unveils critical new insights into ecology and economics, but integrates them with global case studies to make a bold case for redesigning our economies according to the immutable rules of nature. For example, viewing theories such as ecological succession through an economic lens, we discover the root causes of the wealth gap, while gaining clarity on the role of economic diversity in productivity growth and innovation gains.Timely, Giordanengo melds centuries of research with decades of business and ecological experience to reveal three simple components common to ecosystems and economies: diversity, energy, and trade. The proper management of these foundational components is perhaps the greatest obstacle to resolving tensions between society, nature, and the global market economy. The scale at which diversity, energy, and trade must be managed is not global, nor is it hyper local. The scale of a sustainable economy lies somewhere between these two extremes, the subject of part II.Part III of this book outlines a path for restoring our economies, guided by humanity's shared experiences in ecological restoration. The essential process of ecosystem recovery (i.e., succession) is one such pathway. Unwittingly, the United States and other developed nations manage economic succession in ways that lower their productivity growth and resistance to future disturbances, while concentrating wealth into fewer hands. With such knowledge in hand, however, nations can also move the succession dial toward the productive and diverse center, where wealth and resources are recirculated quickly, new business opportunities are created, wealth is naturally distributed, and resilience and resistance are fortified-a stout shield in the face of global economic turmoil.From regenerative agriculture to regional-scale manufacturing, and from endogenous energy systems to ecological conservation, practical business strategies and government policies are woven throughout th.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Emerging from the fields of ecological restoration and economics, this interdisciplinary book delivers a clear path to restoring our economies in a way that speaks in a universal language to policy makers, business owners, academics and the general public.Traditional approaches to sustainability focus on the social, environmental and economic pillars of an economy. However, little attention is paid to the foundations upon which those pillars rest. Those foundations a system's foundational components have been ignored for good reason; we have lacked a comprehensive understanding of what they are and how they interact. Cross-cutting research between ecological and economic systems reveals three foundational components (i.e., drivers, long levers) of highly resilient and productive economies and ecosystems. The identification and management of those components is perhaps the most important insight to resolving growing tensions between society, nature and the global market economy.Chronic social, environmental and economic externalities have defined the past seven hundred years of evolving global market capitalism. In highly developed countries such as the United States, the most recent global trade patterns have been accompanied by flat real wages, flat productivity growth, a growing wealth gap, and a balance tilted largely toward lower resilience and resistance to global economic turmoil. Most of these externalities and poor economic performance stem from our mismanagement of diversity, energy and trade. Restoring the balance of these components does not jeopardise our quality of life and security, but holds promise that our most important social, environmental and economic values will be ensured. The scale at which diversity, energy and trade must be managed is justified by self-regulating ecosystems such as jungles, prairies and pine-oak forests. That scale is not global, and it is not hyper local. The economic and ecological rationale agree that the scale of a sustainable economy the natural geography of humans is regional. The closing chapters outline earth's ancient wisdom for restoring our economies, as illuminated by humanities shared experience in ecological restoration.The process of ecosystem recovery following disturbance (i.e., succession) is one such beacon of wisdom. Unwittingly, developed economies such as the US mange succession to concentrate wealth into fewer hands, while degrading productive capacity and resilience. Following nature's lead economic policies can readily move the succession dial toward the productive and diverse center, where wealth and resources are recirculated quickly, opportunities are continually created, and resilience and resistance are fortified a stout shield in the face of global economic turmoil. Turmoil that is predicted to only increase in the 21st century. Economic restoration is not only possible it is our humanitarian duty. Ecosystems as Models to Restoring Our Economies appeals to a broad range of people across ages, values and political beliefs, and will change the way we pursue a resilient and sustainable economy. Just when you think there are no good paths forward, the knowledge of ecosystems guides the way. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
