\"9781137403377-thumbnail-300x400\"Grantham seminar introduced and chaired by Prof. Samuel Fankhauser, Co-Director of the Grantham Research Institute<\/h3>\n

Prof. Edward B. Barbier, John S. Bugas Professor of Economics, Department of Economics and Finance, University of Wyoming, will be the speaker for this event. Prof. Barbier will present his new book, ‘Nature and Wealth: Overcoming Environmental Scarcity and Inequality<\/path><\/svg><\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

The global economy is facing two major threats: increasing environmental degradation and a growing gap between rich and poor. These two threats are symptomatic of a growing structural imbalance in all economies—how nature is exploited to create wealth. The root of this imbalance is that natural capital is under-priced, and hence overly exploited, whereas human capital is insufficient to meet demand, thus encouraging inequality. By adopting a Balanced Wealth Strategy we can overcome the structural imbalance between nature and wealth that is inhibiting innovation, growth and prosperity.<\/p>\n
