Reviews

Consider that the environment is a social construction and environmental change a product of the world-system evolving. Current paths of accumulation produce unacceptable costs, so sustainable development must be another path. . . . Any resolution of these contradictions will rethink not just the international economic structure but technology, social theory, and politics. This is an important contribution to a crucial debate. - World Development
