Economist James K. Boyce on the link between inequality and the environment
Issued on:
A world-renowned political and social economist, who is in Paris to receive a new international award for his work, has told FRANCE 24 how economists have forgotten a vitally important fact. James K. Boyce says that what matters is "not simply the total size of the economic pie, but also how it's distributed". Boyce is now applying the problem of inequality to the environment and the economic issues surrounding it. He spoke to us in Perspective.
