Solving the Ecological Problems of Capitalism
In this article, the author identifies three ecological problems of capitalism—growth, technology, and consumption—that must be solved to develop a sustainable society. Consistent with previous work, especially in the Marxist ecology tradition, the author argues that overcoming the growth problem requires an alternative to capitalism. This is necessary, though not sufficient: ecological sustainability also depends on overcoming the problems of te…

Do Foreign-Owned Plants Pollute More
Critics of globalization and capitalist expansion suggest that foreign-owned plants pollute more than domestically owned ones. Using the U.S. EPA Toxics Release Inventory, we test the effects of foreign ownership on the environmental performance of chemical plants in the United States. Results suggest that net of other factors, foreign ownership has a negligible impact on the environmental performance of chemical plants. Implications for research…

Do Manufacturers Pollute Less Under the Regulation-Through-Information Regime? What Plant-Level Data Tell Us
Because past studies on the effects of right-to-know laws have relied on highly aggregated data, it is still unknown whether being located in a state with a funded right-to-know program has a significant effect on the environmental performance of individual manufacturing plants. Nor has it been shown that such effects exist net of other plant characteristics that are known to increase pollution. To remedy this situation, we have used plant-level …
Are Subsidiaries More Prone to Pollute? New Evidence from the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory

In their recent efforts to uncover the social structural causes of pollution, sociologists have explored the environmental effects of such factors as urbanization, modernization, class hierarchies, long economic cycles, and the world-system. However, they have yet to study what some consider to be the most intensive and effective environmental destroyer of all - organizations - and the effects of their structures. This paper proposes a new line o…
