Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen deserves to be called the father of ecological economics. This book connects Georgescu-Roegen's earlier work such as consumer choice theory and a critique of Leontief's dynamic model, with his later ambitious attempt to reformulate the economic process as 'bioeconomics', a theoretical alternative to neoclassical economics.
'The writing is solid, and there is no doubt that the book sheds considerable light on the development and implications of Georgescu-Roegen's illustrious career. These characteristics are certainly good reasons for readers to engage with this text.' - Land Economics
'Mayumi shows himself to be a master of the subject, and well ahead of most of his contemporaries in both the breadth and the depth of his treatment. The book should be in every university library and be essential reading for researchers.' - Ecological Economics
'Georgescu-Roegen would be proud to have someone as capable as Mayumi take up the reins of his work.' -Michael Perelman, Research History of Economic Thought and Methodology
