DESCRIPTION:The natural environment is under more pressure today than ever
  before as the atmosphere\, oceans and land is transformed by economic pro
 cesses. Functional benefits like climate stability\, water purification\, 
 soil formation as well as less tangible benefits to health and happiness a
 re not priced in to the markets\, so monetary wealth rises but we may be p
 oorer for it. How is this dilemma to be resolved in a century of rising po
 pulation and consumption? What can be priced and how? Will the markets for
 ce us to pay the full price of products or override other barriers to envi
 ronmental degradation and let big corporations have their way? \n\nInforma
