Ecological economics starts from the fact that human and natural systems are interdependent. The environment is the material base for economic activity.
Chapter 2 will explain those aspects of the functioning of environmental systems that are particularly relevant to an understanding of economy–environment interdependence.

Chapter 4 develops a conceptual framework, a model, for the study of the way a modern economy interacts with its environment.
