Ecological Economics is about the interaction between humans and the environment via the economy. It starts from the premise that the economy is limited by the constraint of our planet's finite resources. It rejects the mainstream economics goal of continued economic growth and proposes instead a steady state economy.

Debate about the role of markets. Michael Sandel and Michael Porter

A very interesting debate about the role of markets in our society between two Harvard Professors - one a Political philospher and one a Business professor. It is worth watching the talks by each of the professors given before this debate. Michael Sandel: Why we shouldn't trust markets with our civic life. Michael Porter: Why business can be good at solving social problems. Watch out for the comment about businesses creating resources!!
