jan 1, 1847 - Stuart Mill's 'Principles of political economy'

Description:

More than a century before the term ‘sustainable development’ came into general use, a number of publications appeared which dealt with what we would today call sustainable development. In Principles of political economy, first published in 1848, John Stuart Mill included a short chapter on the ‘stationary state’, which implied a stationary condition of capital and population, but not of human improvement.
