Green Capital demonstrates that it is critical that we introduce a new price into the economy that measures the costs of damage to nature's regulatory functions. Brokering a sustainable peace between ecology and the economy, Green Capital describes a range of valuation schemes and their contribution to the goals of green capitalism, proposing a new approach to natural resources that benefits both businesses and the environment.
