Coup d`etat in the biosphere: the ecosystem at the capital service
Keywords:
limits, cycles, ecological footprint and ecological debt, care footprint and care debt.
Abstract
Capitalist societies have been established denying the material basis that sustains life. The obsession with the idea of economic growth and accumulation has declared the war to bodies and territories. Human life, as well as all which is alive, depends on the biosphere, its assets and processes, and on the enormous workload that taking care of vulnerable bodies implies. Synergies between two heterodox economic approaches, ecological economics and feminist economics, contribute to the constitution of a paradigm focused on universal wellbeing and on the maintenance of human and natural life.Downloads
