The Bioregional Economy: Land, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
Autor Molly Scott Catoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2012
A bioregional approach to economics assumes a different system of values to that which dominates neoclassical economics. The global economy is driven by growth, and the consumption ethic that matches this is one of expansion in range and quantity. Goods are defined as scarce, and access to them is a process based on competition. The bioregional approach challenges every aspect of that value system. It seeks a new ethic of consumption that prioritises locality, accountability and conviviality in the place of expansion and profit; it proposes a shift in the focus of the economy away from profits and towards provisioning; and it assumes a radical reorientation of work from employment towards livelihood.
This book by leading green economist Molly Scott Cato sets out a visionary and yet rigorous account of what a bioregional approach to the economy would mean — and how to get there from here.

Recenzii
'Leading green economist Molly Scott Cato argues that science presents irrefutable evidence that the present economic system poses threats to the sustainability of the earth's ecosystems. Rather than impose limits and restrictions on resource use, she calls for the re-enchantment of our relationship with the biospher through imaginative creativity.'
'Although written with an academic market in mind, this work is far from being a dull, negative critique of the finance-dominated global economy. On the contrary, it is packed with insights into workable alternatives.'
