莱斯特.布朗的生态经济理论在当今世界上影响巨大,他提出了人类经济摆脱目前困境走向可持续发展道路的具体方案:彻底改变经济凌驾生态的经济指导思想,向在能源基础、材料来源、产业结构和城市型式都发生根本变革的新型经济迈进,政府利用财政政策手段作为推动现行经济向生态经济过渡的杠杆。布朗关注中国的现代化经济建设,提出了西方工业发展的模式不适用于中国的思想。 Leicester Brown’s theory of eco-economy has great influence in the world today. He proposed a concrete plan for the human economy to get rid of the present dilemma toward the path of sustainable development: to completely change the economic guiding ideology of economy overriding ecology, , The new economy with fundamental changes in both industrial structure and urban pattern, and the government making use of fiscal policy as a lever to promote the transition of the current economy to the ecological economy. Brown concerned about China’s economic construction and proposed that the pattern of industrial development in the West does not apply to China’s thinking.
