Inside the new economic science of capitalism's slow-burn energy collapse, by @NafeezAhmed - 0 views

  •  
    "New scientific research is quietly rewriting the fundamentals of economics. The new economic science shows decisively that the age of endlessly growing industrial capitalism, premised on abundant fossil fuel supplies, is over. The long-decline of capitalism-as-we-know-it, the new science shows, began some decades ago, and is on track to accelerate well before the end of the 21st century. With capitalism-as-we-know it in inexorable decline, the urgent task ahead is to rewrite economics to fit the real-world: and, accordingly, to redesign our concepts of value and prosperity, precisely to rebuild our societies with a view of adapting to this extraordinary age of transition."

Sufficiency: Moving beyond the gospel of eco-efficiency | Friends of the Earth Europe - 0 views

  •  
    "To revert the current ecological overshoot and build a sustainable society, we have to collectively engage in changing our economic model. "Sufficiency: moving beyond the gospel of eco-efficiency" suggests introducing hard limitations to unsustainable trends-in particular to overconsumption-and putting emphasis on distributional justice. Seven chapters written by sustainability and economics experts plus a foreword by Janez Potočnik (Co-chair of the International Resource Panel and former European Commissioner for the Environment) shed light on different angles of sufficiency and formulate concrete recommendations to EU policy makers. The booklet ends with a discussion of several eco-social policies that can start the transition towards an "economics of enough". Many new ideas for an economic paradigm shift have been developed and discussed at the academic and grassroots levels in recent years. The aim of this booklet is to build on a rich body of knowledge and bring these ideas to the attention of engaged citizens and policy makers in order to advance the debate on how to implement sufficiency."

Colapso del capitalismo global y transiciones hacia sociedades ecomunitarias - 0 views

  •  
    "En este trabajo abordamos la crisis ambiental en primer lugar. Para ello caracterizamos la menor disponibilidad energética y de materiales, el cambio climático y la disfunción de muchos ecosistemas. Después justificamos que dicha crisis ambiental (hibridada con las crisis económica y social) están conllevando el colapso de nuestro orden socioeconómico. Ante esto, no hay alternativas y la tecnología no podrá solventar los desafíos que solo se están empezando a desplegar. Este colapso marca un futuro muy abierto en el que son posibles muchos órdenes sociales diferentes. Finalmente, abordamos cómo hacer una transición desde el momento actual hacia sociedades ecomunitarias en un contexto de colapso, focalizando especialmente cómo realizarlo desde la perspectiva de los cambios necesarios en el mundo del trabajo.
