Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of steady-state economies, where economic growth is limited to avoid environmental damage, is a defining feature of ecological economics. Cost-benefit analysis and greenwashing are not unique to ecological economics, and the idea that the only healthy economy is one that is growing goes against the principles of ecological economics. The last option, environmental damage and benefits being external, is relevant to ecological economics but is not a distinguishing feature of it.
