Klappentext

Modern economics reinforces people to exploit the planet and each other at an exponential rate as its traditionally imposed 'logic' becomes increasingly detached from the logic of new scientific understandings and potential technological applications for human and environmental well-being and ultimately true economic organization. Meanwhile relevant professions and organizations are ineffectually trying to address issues of sustainability without taking this fundamental realization into consideration explicitly. Therefore, this book aims to critically evaluate the fundamental logic of the current economic framework. Then compare this logic to what is sustainable from a scientific economic framework; and then elaborate on how this alternative economic framework could be universally applied across all professions, specifically in the field of Architecture and City Design.
