		Green economics loosely defines a theory of economics by which an economy is considered to be component of the ecosystem in which it resides.
		The green economists share broader ecological and social concerns, including a distrust of capitalism itself, that lie outside the mainstream concerns of the neoclassical subfields environmental economics, resource economics, and sustainable development.
		Most political Greens reject such an analysis as hopelessly unsustainable given modern terrorism and asymmetric warfare, but what seems to characterize green economists as a class is a willingness to work with such outrageous commodifying assumptions.

	Green economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Green Economics is critical about certain aspects of the banking sector and its behavior but is strictly different in its approach from any 'social credit' type of monetary reform that is based on a misconception about how the monetary system works.
		Green economists struggle to understand why humans set the value of such commodities as gold higher than that of nature, (see diamond-water paradox) and why humans habitually reward social and sexual fitness (i.e.
		In neurological terms, green is coming from the frontal cortex; grey is stemming from the limbic lobe or the amygdala.

		Green economics on the other hand demands that these costs are internalised into the product or process by applying a financial value to represent the ecological or social costs of the damage done.
		Since green taxes are often applied for a set purpose, it is appropriate that they should, insofar as is practical, be applied to remedy the problem that they were applied for in the first place.
		Green economics gradually changes this discount rate to reflect costs to future generations of present activities, which is another incentive to develop sustainability.

	Presidio: WSJ article on China's State EPA effort to institute a Green GDP
		The so-called green gross-domestic-product figures are part of a long-term Chinese government project aimed at quantifying the economic impact of pollution, and may mark a shift in strategy for a regime that has promoted unbridled growth as the key to social stability.
		Green GDP is one part of the budding field of environmental economics, which aims to apply rigorous business-accounting methods to environmental problems.
		The concept of green GDP and how to calculate it is a hotly debated topic in economic circles, and even some environmental economists find it of limited value.

	Slate - Dismal Scientist - April 17, 1997
		artly this is just because of who economists are: Being by definition well-educated and, for the most part, pretty well-off, they have the usual prejudices of their class--and most upper-middle-class Americans are sentimental about the environment, as long as protecting it does not impinge on their lifestyle.
		Everyone knows that economists are people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing, who think that anything that increases gross domestic product is good and anything else is worthless, and who believe that whatever free markets do must be right.
		True, economists generally believe that a system of free markets is a pretty efficient way to run an economy, as long as the prices are right--as long, in particular, as people pay the true social cost of their actions.

	Public bad
		A public bad, in green economics, is the opposite of a public good.
		A public golf course, for instance, could be seen as a public good insofar as it provides recreation to those who might not otherwise get it.
		Most green economists advise measuring such impacts back to the present from the seventh generation.

	Global Greens -
		Further, while Green parties were the first political parties to build their party platforms on an explicitly environmental plank, and the environmental dimension is certainly fundamental to them, the environmental plank is only one of four foundational principles common to Green parties.
		Green parties can not derive their politics and policies from a ‘Nature’ which is in itself a politically charged concept, not an eternal verity.
		The study of Green party politics to date, therefore, has been largely confined within the conventional boundaries and concepts of the discipline of political science, where the nation-state is taken as the prime organising structure for politics, and parties are studied chiefly as actors within that structure.

	Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis - The Region - Interview with Edward Green - December 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		While many economists seek to accurately portray the world as it is, complete with imperfections, and others describe an ideally efficient economy, Green's research presumes that the world and its institutions do, in fact, operate with rough efficiency—otherwise, participants would have worked out a better way.
		Green: What Dick Todd and I were urging in the article is that the Fed evolve to the place where the central banks of most other industrialized countries already are.
		Green: I'm glad you ask about this—of all the research that I've done, this is what I'd most like people to read [see “On the Emergence of Parliamentary Government” in the Winter 1993 Quarterly Review].

		The Greens' "Budget to Protect to our Futures" outlines economic measures to improve four areas; Planet, peace, pensions, and poverty prevention.

		These are the "green economists," or environmental economists, who use economic arguments and systems to persuade companies to clean up pollution and to help conserve natural areas.
		You'll find environmental economists on the payrolls of government agencies (the Environmental Protection Agency had about 164 in 2004) and groups like the Wilderness Society, a conservation group, which has four of them to work on projects such as assessing the economic impact of building off-road driving trails.
		As state and federal governments face pressure to cut spending, officials are weighing environmental measures against other priorities such as welfare and health care, and environmentalists are realizing that their policies have to be cost-effective to be feasible.

	Saving the planet: imperialism in a green garb?.
		Economists and environmentalists in developing nations argue that the agenda for environmental negotiations is almost exclusively driven by the North.
		Deepak Lal, professor of international development studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, cites these examples when he describes the green movement as “the new secular religion.” He says “green imperialists” are a new avatar of the “white man’s burden,” set to impose their values on the world.
		Indian economist and newspaper editor Swaminathan S. Aiyar argues that there is “much to be learnt from the rest of the world.” Like British colonial rule, which brought with it some desirable elements like democracy, civil and gender rights to India, the new crusaders could impart useful technologies, he writes in the Times of India.

		First, the theory of economic growth touted by mainstream or "neoclassical" economists is replaced by a theory of economic growth founded upon ecological principles.
		The new field of ecological economics has the potential to overcome neoclassical economics because it is consistent with the natural sciences and with the common sense of students and citizens.
		The social component of the steady state revolution occurs as the historical emulation of conspicuous consumers is replaced with an equally powerful castigation of such consumers.

	Means of production (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Karl Marx focused on labor questions: He considered it exploitative to treat labor as just another in production and in his analysis he the word "means" apparently to emphasize that actually acquires and applies the instructions and and directly uses the tools and infrastructure as the " proletariat ".
		There are parallels in analysis by modern feminist economists notably Marilyn Waring who argues that women's work has systematically devalued and undervalued while education and sufficient to use the "means" deemed most by society have traditionally gone to men.
		Some green economists notably Brian Milani analogize Marx's treatment labor to natural capital accepting Marx's view that land is a means but not a factor of production.

		I for one would like to see better communication between economists, geologists, and petroleum engineers about the timing and consequences of the eventual decline in global annual production rates of crude petroleum.

		The many interesting and thoughtful responses to my invitation for more open communication between economists and others about peak oil has led me to a clearer understanding of exactly what it is we're seeing differently.

	ET 5/99: Capitalism Goes Green?
		Green economists advocate a "tax shift" an overall restructuring of the tax code so that it becomes more costly to harm the environment, less costly to generate income.
		One eco-economic tool particularly beloved of industry and of many green economists, too, at least in theory is emissions trading.
		As politically difficult as it may be to carry out the "factor four" efficiency recommendations of the energy experts, ecological economists such as Herman Daly believe our use of resources must be reduced by a factor of ten if we are to ward off catastrophic global warming.

	Green Building Materials
		Green manufacturing must ultimately move toward the production and use of benign materials that can be “globally recycled”—that is, able at their end to be composted or reunited with nature in some way that makes them a potentially new resource (Berge, 2000).
		Although funding for the development of green building materials databases were also cut, it is likely that plans to combine green consumer information on building materials with community inspection programmes will be realized in the future.
		Green initiatives have to begin everywhere, but the realms of consumption and prosumption may be the place where radical initiatives have the greatest space for movement.

	The Greening of China (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A China that continues to spew tons of coal smoke into the air, tear up the landscape for dams and minerals, and push the adoption of the automobile as a “pillar industry” is a China that could drive the world past the environmental tipping point, regardless of the efforts of the rest of the planet.
		The first, as shown in this Economist article from late October, is that figuring out precise numbers for the costs of resource waste and pollution is tricky, and prone to manipulation and fraud.
		We’ve seen multiple large-scale examples of economic actors and regions adopting stricter green regulations and becoming richer because of it; the “going green kills your economy” argument is a decreasingly-legitimate scare tactic.

	Jean-Jacques Laffont; economist; 57 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Jean-Jacques Laffont, an economist known for developing mathematical models to estimate what something is worth in situations of deep uncertainty, died May 1 in Toulouse, France.
		He particularly focused on what is known as the "free rider problem," referring to those who benefit from a particular action or policy but escape having to pay for it.
		Although Dr. Laffont's models were abstruse enough to satisfy the most theoretical economists, Green said they were adapted for practical purposes by companies, as well as by television for scheduling programs.

		My experience has been that the economists tend to label me an environmentalist while the environmentalists tend to label me a capitalist.
