VICTOR, Peter, Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University
Professor Peter Victor is Canada's leading ecological economist. Widely recognized and awarded, he has contributed as much to the development of his discipline globally as any other economist since the 1970s. Prof Victor's intellectually rigorous critique of such concepts as ‘natural capital', and whether and how we can ‘green' the economy, have solidified his reputation as an outstanding scholar; his current research on ecological macroeconomics maintains his momentum and excites our expectations.
