He included an important new set of calculations that he said would increase chances that we will invest in and manage our ecosystems so as to allow for the production of more goods. “Asset management is a very well understood phenomenon,” Dasgupta said. “But for a variety of reasons, Mother Nature’s assets don’t carry the signals we need to manage them adequately.”
