Économie de l'après-croissance - Politiques de l'Anthropocène II

By: Dir. Agnès Sinaï

La croissance et le productivisme, véritables socles de nos sociétés industrielles, nous entraînent dans une consommation effrénée d'espace et de ressources et mettent la planète sur une orbite périlleuse. Les théories économiques, qui ont alimenté ce déni de la finitude des ressources, dérivent aujourd'hui vers de nouveaux mirages tels que la monétarisation des écosystèmes ou la croissance...

The Foundation Theory

By: Andrea Acquarone, Júlia Pàmias Prohias

Abstract: This paper aims to present a theoretical framework useful for a qualitative analysis of the general economic system. Under this perspective, a possible path to realize a degrowth economy in a specific territory is shown, mainly thinking about a southern European reality. The reasoning starts from a reflection upon the feature of the utility function, which is conducive to a...

Primary Energy Analysis: A New Approach beyond Extant Growth Theories (revised version)

By: Hidekazu Aoki, Nobuo Kawamiya

Abstract: A best possible indicator to represent the whole economic activity should be not the GDP but "the whole industrial production (WIP)" because the former represents only the added value sector of an economy, while the latter comprises both the GDP and all intermediate throughputs in the economy. The historical change of WIP compared with the primary energy supply (PES) in Japan revealed...

Degrowth and Ecofeminism: Perspectives for Economic Analysis and Political Engagement

By: Christine Bauhardt

Abstract: The paper deals with three approaches conceived as alternative models to the capitalist growth economy: Green New Deal, Degrowth, and Solidarity Economy. Ecofeminist economics has much to offer to each of these approaches, but as yet these contributions remain unrealized. The Green New Deal largely represents the green economy, which makes economic success contingent on the ecological...

Socioecological Dynamics of Resurgent Forests: Lessons for Degrowth

By: Christine Biermann, Becky Mansfield

Abstract: This paper considers resurgent, or regrowing, forests, asking: What dynamics drive forest re-growth? How do economic changes articulate with ecological processes, and to what ends? Drawing on research in Appalachian Ohio, we add to critiques of forest transition theory, which states that after decades if not centuries of forest loss, countries begin to experience increases in forest...

Alternative capital for alternative development: Investigation of possible development transition using capital method

By: Chiung Ting Chang

Abstract: How to move from current unsustainable pattern of development to a sustainable one? Here we make an attempt to propose a possible route of transition in the perspective of capital. That is to focus on the investment of human capital and of social capital. The strategies for transformation will be also based on the shifting the resources to human-centered investment. Although the plan...
