  True Cost Economics : Herman Daly
Herman Daly has been ostracized from the fraternity of economists because he doesn’t worship at the altar of unlimited growth.
Daly’s conversion was completed after he read the works of environmentalist Rachel Carson and spent time teaching economics in northeastern Brazil.
Daly returned to the US and borrowed from the ideas of John Stuart Mill to develop the concept of a steady-state economy – where human population and consumption are tied directly to the ecosystem’s capacity to support inhabitants without detrimental effects.

 For the Common Good by Herman Daly & John Cobb Jr. - A Book Review by Scott London
In the first half of the book, Daly and Cobb discuss the implicit assumptions and theoretical fallacies governing contemporary economic scholarship; in the second half, they discuss numerous policy changes toward their economic goal of a society based on community and ecological balance.
According to Daly and Cobb, contemporary economic theory holds to a crude, mechanistic worldview of homo economicus as an autonomous individual driven solely by self-interest and of society as an aggregate of such individuals.
Daly and Cobb are somewhat tentative in discussing how their programs may be put into practice.

 Holly Stallworth's Review of (i>Beyond Growth
Daly describes the World Bank as still mired in the belief in the continued power of economic growth (increasing the flow of energy and materials through the economy) as the solution to poverty, rather the adopting the alternative: a three-prong prescription of population control, income redistribution and ecologically compatible development.
Daly's extraordinary insight into the failure of our macroeconomics to come to grips with the central issue of scale -- the size of the economy relative to the ecosystem -- is presented with an insider's ironclad logic addressing his own profession.
I find that Daly's genius lies in his ability to present environmental issues in terms commensurate with the language and logic of economists, but the reverse is not true: equal genius does not extend to translating the insights of economics into environmental policy prescriptions.

 Herman Daly and the True Costs of Economics
In the late 1960s Daly realized that the natural sciences, along with everyday observations, provided unequivocal evidence that the human economy is indeed part of the larger biotic enterprise, which is itself a subset of the even larger earth system.
Daly sums it up this way: "Ecological limits are rapidly converting 'economic growth' into 'uneconomical growth'—i.e., throughput growth that increases costs by more than it increases benefits, thus making us poorer not richer.
Daly uses analogy to show that we need a measure beyond efficiency to assure sustainability, with a cargo boat as an example: "This absolute optimal scale of load [for a boat] is recognized in the maritime institution as the Plimsoll line.

 Herman Daly (Features)
Herman Daly is turning economics inside out by putting earth and its diminishing natural resources, instead of "economic man" and market relations, at the center of the field.
In Daly's neat and compelling formulation, ozone depletion, the death of fish stocks, runaway population growth--the whole congeries of environmental degradations--are showing economic conventional wisdom up as self-contradictory: "We say we need to clean up the environment; to clean up the environment we need to be richer.
But for Daly no economy can serve human beings if economics refuses to see the need for cooperative endeavor and the building of a collective good--community, in a word.

 Powell's Books - Beyond Growth: The Economics of Sustainable Development by
Herman Daly is probably the most prominent advocate of the need for a change in economic thinking in response to environmental crisis.
Daly argues that if sustainable development means anything at this historical moment, it demands that we conceive of the economy as part of the ecosystem and, as a result, give up on the ideal of economic growth.
Daly argues that there is a real fight to control the meaning of "sustainable development", and that conventional economists and development thinkers are trying to water down its meaning to further their own ends.

Daly is the celebrated ecological economist who once pondered these questions for an unlikely employer, the World Bank.
Daly lamented the fact that economics deals mostly with the allocation of a resource among competing users, but fails to deal with issues of scale and just distribution.
Daly conceded he might be regarded as a "monetary crank" in making this proposal, but cited some illustrious economists of the 1920s who agreed with him.

 Herman Daly: The Developing Ideas Interview
Herman Daly is a maverick economist on a mission to give his discipline a heart.
Daly: Well that's what John Cobb and I tried to deal with in For the Common Good - what if economics is to move away from being a self-centred academic discipline interested only in working out the consequences of its own assumptions and if it's to engage itself more in the world.
And we argued that you have to shift from Homo economicus as the isolated individual to the idea of person in community, whose identity is largely a function of his relationships in community with others and with the ecosystem.

 The economic heresy of Herman Daly | By Lissa Harris | Grist | Main Dish | 10 Apr 2003
For Daly, the first real challenge to that pre-analytic vision came in 1967, when he was a Ford Foundation visiting professor at the University of Ceara in Brazil.
It was then that Daly began to make connections between his economic knowledge, the experience of life in northeastern Brazil (an economically struggling region whose ballooning population had all but exhausted its natural resources), and the works of environmentalists such as Rachel Carson and Paul Ehrlich.
Daly's work has already inspired one generation of economists and environmentalists, and it forms a large part of the intellectual inheritance of the one that is emerging.

 PCDForum Article #5 Release Date January 25, 1994
In the course of recent discussions on trade agreements, many economists (often tenured academics) have been quick to condemn those who fear that free trade will cost them their jobs as special interest protectionists who are putting their narrow personal interests ahead of the larger societal interest.
This is a situation in which we would be well advised to heed the advice so many economists freely offered in the trade debates: beware of protectionists who out of irrational fears put their own interests ahead of the interests of the larger society.

 An Introduction to Ecological Economics - Griesinger Films
In Herman Daly’s words: "We can no longer treat the earth as if it is a business in liquidation!" Gaylord Nelson’s first 10 minutes in this tape are brilliant.

Daly and Cobb’s ‘Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare’ is discussed, along with a rousing, humorous condemnation of consumerism and the need for a global 12 step program to kick the habit.

 Steady-State Economics by Herman E. Daly
Daly analyzes the relationship between the ecosystem and the economy in terms of stocks and flows.
He begins by commenting that it is, of course, "absolutely a waste of time and morally backward to preach steady-state doctrines to underdeveloped countries before the overdeveloped countries have taken any measure to reduce either their own population growth or the growth of their per-capita resource consumption."
In Chapter 11, Daly claims that there are three alternate strategies for integrating economics and ecology.
