Towards Just and Sustainable Economies: The Social and Solidarity Economy North and South
The need to avoid dangerous climate change whilst meeting the needs of millions in the global north and south suggests that a new economic model is required. Social and solidarity economies have been suggested as an alternative to the failed models of both public and private enterprise. What can they contribute in terms of offering the hope of an economy that includes all, in ways that free markets don’t? Can social and solidarity economies meet …
A Green Post-capitalist Alternative to a System of Accumulation: A Bioregional Economy
This paper explores capital accumulation as the engine of the capitalist mode of production. Accumulation drives the socio-economic damage caused by capitalism, as well as the environmental crises of land use, climate change and resource depletion. It may not be possible to address these problems within a reformed capitalism. Rather, such a goal can only be met within "a practical, workable post-capitalist and post-accumulative ecological economy…
What the willow teaches: Sustainability learning as craft
Whilst the importance of mainstreaming sustainability in higher education curricula is now widely acknowledged, the challenge for educators at university level is to develop and maintain authority and confidence in an area dominated by limited knowledge and uncertainty. This article suggests that the most empowering and authentic response is to adopt an approach of shared learning, but with the pedagogue demonstrating expertise and inspiration. I…
A price for everything?’: The ‘natural capital controversy’
‘Sustainability’ is a contested concept. This contestability – and its basis in deep, oppositional convictions – means that the argument between those who would substitute financial for natural capital and those who believe that such substitution is impossible and/or dangerous is unlikely to be resolved. Some of those in the latter group who have previously argued for a strong view of sustainability (one that privileges nature or perhaps ‘natural…

Green economics: Putting the Planet and Politics Back Into Economics
Green economics is arising from a study of the economy that takes a philosophical position characterised by a deep respect for nature. It is primarily a system of ideas and principles, rather than a rationally argued intellectual position. Its ideas are powerful and influential on developments in policy and politics, but it is presently less well grounded in the academy. Green economists do not dwell overmuch on introspection and their method is …
The Pit and the Pendulum: A Cooperative Future for Work in the Welsh Valleys (Politics and Society in Wales series)
The Pit and the Pendulum presents a detailed account of the local economy of Rhondda Cynon Taff and a history of the region's inward investment development strategy. The Valleys have suffered a sustained period of economic depression, which intensified following the pit closures of the 1980s and 1990s. This book provides a critique of successive economic development policies that have failed to regenerate the area, exemplified most recently by th…
