The world's leading economic thinker on climate change analyzes the economics and politics of the central environmental issue of today and points the way to real solutions
William Nordhaus es un aclamado economista cuyo trabajo pionero integró el análisis macroeconómico a largo plazo con la problemática del cambio climático. Desarrolló un modelo cuantitativo de la interacción global entre la economía y el clima, utilizado para examinar las consecuencias de las intervenciones en políticas climáticas, como los impuestos al carbono. Su investigación ilumina las complejas relaciones entre la sociedad, la economía y el medio ambiente. Sus ideas y modelos continúan dando forma a los debates sobre el desarrollo económico sostenible.

The 14th editon of this text is based on the results of extensive research and features some major changes. Microeconomics is now covered before macroeconomics to encourage the concepts of microeconomic foundations. There is a focus on rediscovering the power of the market, giving special attention to the changes in Eastern Europe. The book places emphasis on the open economy with continued increase in global economics and the interaction between international trade and domestic economic events. It aims to present a balanced treatment of all the major schools of modern macroeconomic theories, using real world experiences and policies to illustrate the fundamentals of economic principles.
