Abstract

Ecological economics is a transdisciplinary attempt to deal with complex non-linear systems of humans and nature, merging aspects of economics, environmental economics, ecology and environmental studies, among others knowledge fields. This paper introduces some of the concepts of this field initially describing the Anthropocene and planet boundaries, the impossibility of continuous economic growth, the necessity of decreasing inequality levels, failures of market allocation, and human nature and well-being. Besides, the paper illustrates policies addressing sustainable scale, inequality levels and problems of market allocation having as background the Brazilian reality. In addition, the paper presents a pluralistic perspective of ecological economics, including some ongoing debates among prominent researchers in the field. Hence, this paper proposes to be a didactic introduction of ecological economics illustrated with applications from Global South.
