Overview

The field of ecological economics developed in the late 1980s at the intersection of the social and natural sciences, with roots in political economy, ecology, and biology, and has had a significant impact on research agendas and policy in related fields in subsequent years. This collection of classic and contemporary papers in ecological economics and its precursors includes an introductory essay that explores how the field has developed over time and identifies the main strands in the literature.
