Eco-economy building an economy for the earth

In 1543, Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the view that the sun revolved around the earth, arguing instead that the earth revolved around the sun. His paper led to a revolution in thinking. In Lester Brown's brilliant and invigorating account of the industrial economy, he shows how a rethink of its fossil fuel-based, throwaway ethos is necessary to ensure that it works with, not against, the natural environment. The issue now is whether the environment is part of the economy or the economy is part of the environment. Brown argues the latter, pointing out that treating the environ.

  • "L. B. Brown suggère de penser l'économie en fonction de l'environnement et non l'inverse. La prise en compte de l'environnement comme une limite à la croissance ne peut que mener à l'échec. Il faut réussir la révolution mentale de créer une économie respectueuse de l'environnement et tournée vers le développement durable."

Building the solar/hydrogen Economy. designing a new materials Economy. Feeding everyone well. Protecting forest products and services. Redesigning cities for people. Stabilizing population by reducing fertility. Tools for restructuring the Economy. Accelerating the transition."
  • "Lester Brown argues that, like the Sumerian and Mayan civilizations, our economy is fast destroying its environmental support systems, threatening future generations. The challenge is to restructure the global economy, replacing our fossil fuel-based, automobile-centered, throwaway economy with a new one that is environmentally sustainable. Brown outlines his vision of the new economy. It will be powered not with fossil fuels but with solar and wind energy. Its urban transport systems will be centered not around the automobile but around light rail and the bicycle. It will not be a throwaway economy but will be a reuse/recycle economy with a stable population. And building this new economy represents the greatest investment opportunity in history. There is no middle ground. Either we build an economy that is environmentally sustainable or stay with our existing economy until environmental deterioration leads to economic decline."@en
