摘要：	In this paper the author argues for a fundamental reframing in how we think about the role of economic analysis in transportation planning. He argues for a reconceptualization of both micro- and macroeconomics within a framework which he calls "stewardship economics." Stewardship economics builds on and extends the insight of John Maynard Keynes from the inter-war period that a major goal of economics should be the prevention of war. Stewardship economics, as set out here starts from two different places: 1) its foundational premise is the finitude of the earth's life support systems; and 2) that there is no defensible grounds for limiting the moral realm to persons alone. The author calls these respectively the scale premise and the moral premise of stewardship economics. The author shows how key terms in current mainstream economics--efficiency, internalization, substitution, marginality, and cost--would be redefined within an economics of stewardship. He begins by looking at current economics and definitions of its key terms. He then sets out five elements of stewardship economics, along with contrasts to the current regime. In conclusion objections to stewardship economics are considered, and an example of its implications for the transportation sector set forth.
