Condiciones e indicadores del desarrollo sostenible en un marco ecológico-económico

The authors provide a meticulous review of the concept of "sustainable development" that has been accepted because it regards economic growth and conservation of the environment as complementary. By analyzing environmental problems from the neoclassical perspective of the Theory of Capital, Faucheux and O'Connor define the "environmental limits" of economic activities, specifying measures that help to achieve economic sustainability. They also point out the importance of non-monetary indicators of sustainability.
