Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, pour une révolution bioéconomique


Feuillets



Sobriety, promotion of organic farming, the fight against waste... These bioeconomic principles proposed in the 1970s by Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen led to the commonly-made association between his works and the De-growth Movement. This connection, however, appears simplistic. Georgescu-Roegen's participation in the first ecological debates and his call for a radical reform of economic theory made him a major player in the intellectual debates of the second half of the 20th century, where his contributions extended well beyond the controversies of radical ecology.
The thought of Georgescu-Roegen, seen through his inspirations, his foresight, his subtleties, as well as his ambiguities and contradictions, offers an invaluable framework for reflection for incorporating economic thinking into ecological dynamics. This volume also contains the reprint of Georgescu-Roegen's "From economic science to bioeconomics", an unknown text published in 1978, which contains a wealth of information relating to current environmental concerns.
