Political Economy of the Environment video series

Check out my Political Economy of the Environment Series.

The series aims to deepen our understanding of the interplay between the economy, the environment, and human well-being. In contrast to neoclassical environmental economics, it pays attention not only to the net magnitude of costs and benefits but also to their distribution. In the realm of positive analysis – descriptions of how the world works – this means exploring the multiple ways in which the distribution of wealth and power affects environmental outcomes. In the realm of normative analysis – prescriptions for how the world should work – political economists advocate a range of criteria, including not only cost effectiveness but also safety, sustainability, and environmental justice.
