Description: Rethinking Macroeconomics for Sustainability analyses the deep-seated relationship between macroeconomic policy models and their impact on growth, people's livelihoods and the environment. Examining key thematic problem areas and setting out policy recommendations, Alejandro Nadal argues that monetary, financial and fiscal policies, as important for environmental stewardship as they are for growth and prosperity, must be redesigned if we are to achieve long-term sustainability.
