Ecosystem Services

Ecosystem Services: Economics and Policy, 1st Edition, addresses the divide between ecological and economic theory and practice. The text focuses on how Austrian School economic principles can enhance the validity of ecosystem services.

The volume evaluates conventional fiscal and monetary models, arguing that reliance on these traditional frameworks limits the reach of ecosystem services and magnifies existing economic problems. By connecting ecological and economic methodologies, the work demonstrates how alternative frameworks can yield better environmental results.

A central focus of the analysis is the formulation of ecosystem service approaches intended to drive a biodiversity-based economic model built around distributed ledger technology, or blockchain.
