"Omniconomics shows how we can make human society and nature intrinsically sustainable, with the help of a completely new approach in which traditional economics is transformed. Citing the fallacies of existing economic approaches as directly responsible for many of the environmental threats faced by society today, Niko Roorda presents a new, interdisciplinary form of economics: omniconomics. This framework has its foundations in an innovative, joined-up approach, in which all aspects of the natural and social sciences are inextricably linked. It will better allow for new solutions to tackling urgent issues including climate change, deforestation and environmental inequality. Inspiring new thinking, this book aims to: 1. Inspire a public, scientific and political debate about the role of present-day economics, its status as no more than a protoscience, and the consequences for (inter)national policies and developments; 2. Stimulate independent, out-of-the-box thinking of students, graduates, politicians, leaders of society, and any member of the public who worries about the major present-day problems and the future; 3. To stimulate interdisciplinary research within universities towards the creation of an omniconomic science that will replace the discipline of economics and will become a genuine, mature science. Encouraging the reader to rethink accepted economic approaches to the climate emergency, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainable development, sustainability economics and environmental policy, as well as any practitioners working in related fields"--
