Essentials of Economic Sustainability
The recent global financial crisis has raised widespread concern for the sustainability of the global economy.Much has been written concerning the negative impacts of economic development on natural ecosystems and civil societies.Unfortunately, few viable alternatives to the prevailing economic paradigms have been suggested for consideration.Those that have been are typically little more than suggestions for fine tuning capitalist or socialist economies. In his new book, John Ikerd addresses the basic principles and concepts essential to economic sustainability.Some of these concepts are capitalist, some are socialistic, and others are general principles validated by philosophy or common sense.What results is a synthesis: something that is neither capitalist nor socialist but fundamentally different; it is sustainable.A special emphasis is placed on the essential, but limited, role of markets in economic sustainability, including the constraints that must be placed on markets to protect nature and society from economic exploitation. Readers of any political and ideological persuasion will find this brief book engaging, informative, optimistic and refreshing.Instead of threats and apocalyptic pronouncements, Ikerd offers possibilities and assurance.Instead of epithets hurled at opponents, Ikerd offers possibilities for reconciliation and a renewed sense of the need to work co-operatively to find solutions to the most urgent problems of our era.

Tourism, Resilience and Sustainability : Adapting to Social, Political and Economic Change
In a world increasingly faced with, and divided by, regional and global crises, resilience has emerged as a key concept with significant relevance for tourism. A paradigmatic shift is taking place in the long-term planning of tourism development, in which the prevailing focus on sustainability is being enhanced with the practical application of resilience planning.This book provides a critical appraisal of sustainability and resilience, and the relationship between the two.Contributions highlight the complexity of addressing social change with resilience planning in a range of tourism contexts, from islands to mountains, from urban to remote environments, and in a range of international settings.Case studies articulate how tourism is both an agent of social change and a victim of larger change processes, and provide important lessons on how to deal with increasingly unstable economic, social and environmental systems. This is the first book to specifically examine social change and sustainability in tourism through a resilience lens.This much-needed contribution to the literature will be a key resource for those working in tourism studies, tourism planning and management, social geography, and development studies, among others.
