Briefing for the Bees: Green Economists and Labour or Work


This brief gives you some useful resources on labour or work. I have also uploaded a chapter from
my book Green Economics on this issue into this folder. Remember that how people work, i.e. how the
company is structured, is also relevant to the question of green work, so the information on
co-operatives from the last teaching session is relevant.



These two books you can find in the FSS library are also useful:


Molly Scott Cato, Market, Schmarket: G1-1318


Jonathon Porritt, Capitalism as if the World Matters: L2-968
