Abstract

It’s more essential than ever for us, as inhabitants of this planet, to educate ourselves about environmental issues. That’s why “Better Economics for the Earth: A Lesson from Quantum and Information Theories” by Quan-Hoang Vuong and Minh-Hoang Nguyen is a must-read. This book addresses a wide range of pressing topics—climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and natural disasters, to name just a few. It offers a thoughtful study of how quantum and information theories can drive a much-needed change in economics. The authors challenge the traditional, anthropocentric perspective of economics, advocating instead for integrating physics principles and taking into consideration the crisis facing our planet.
