`Taking Nature into Account' makes clear the consequences of continuing to ignore the complex co-dependency of environment and economy. Initiated by the Club of Rome (an international group of influential business leaders, politicians, and scientists), the book reviews existing methodologies and makes recommendations for adjusting the way we think about and measure economic progress. Club member Wouter van Dieren has brought together some of the world's most respected experts to speak out about the faulty framework of the SNA, the dangers of emphasizing production growth over quality of life and the need to facilitate sustainable development. These experts make the ethical, historical, economic and ecological arguments for the inclusion of environmental factors when measuring economic performance.
