  • THE MYTH OF RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
    JOHN M. POLIMENI / KOZO MAYUMI / MARIO GIAMPIETRO / BLAKE ALCOTT
    'The Jevons Paradox', which was first expressed in 1865 by William Stanley Jevons in relation to use of coal, states that an increase in efficiency in using a resource leads to increased use of that resource rather than to a reduction.

    MARIO GIAMPIETRO / KOZO MAYUMI

  • THE ORIGINS OF ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS
    KOZO MAYUMI
    Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen deserves to be called the father of ecological economics.

Despite this crisis, current protocols of energy accounti...
