Features: Content and Characteristics: This book systematically studies the current state of ecological economic development in Germany and even the entire Europe, taking the perspective of economic policy formulation to provide a theoretical basis for ecological environmental protection. This is a bold idea, as this is precisely the "theoretical vacuum zone." In the practice of all fields of economic policy, people have found that the traditional approaches taught in current economics and social sciences are no longer sufficient to solve the problems faced by our society. Target Audience: Undergraduate and graduate students majoring in theoretical economics, as well as researchers in related fields.
