Here, he enunciated what has come to be known as the Jevons paradox, which stated that improvements in resource efficiency leads to greater resource use as the expansion of scale occasioned by lower operating costs overwhelms the savings due to greater efficiency. The implications for any sustainability scenario are enormous and a major theme of this book. While .The Coal Question. provided the theory that was a precursor to peak oil and resource limits to growth, it was followed six years later by the .Theory of Political Economy., the first English-language work of neoclassical economics, which denies the importance of energy as a special commodity. .In spite of this apparent contradiction, in this book biophysical economist Kent Klitgaard makes clear that there is no epistemological break between .The Coal Question. and .Theory of Political Economy.. Indeed, the Jevons paradox makes little sense in the absence of a behavioral theory grounded in marginal utility, which recognizes the satisfaction that each of us gains as consumers | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | Rebound Effect; Theory of Political Economy; Coal and Industrialization; Coal Question; Jevons Effect; Pe | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-93589-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-93588-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-93589-4Series ISSN 2191-5520 Series E-ISSN 2191-5539 | | issn_series | 2191-5520 | | copyright | The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022 |
