Towards an ecological economics of sustainability

摘要: Abstract Persistent disagreement both as to the interpretation be given sustainability, and relation between ecological economic has hindered development of an economics sustainable resource use. This paper identifies main concepts sustainability deriving from two disciplines in order explore difference implied by approach problem. It is argued that present approaches are largely disjoint, they address basically different phenomena. By combining efficiency requirements what usually thought with stability approach, it shown intertemporally efficient allocation resources satisfies conditions for constant levels consumption not necessary assure sustainability. Ecological requires should result instability economy–environment system a whole.
