Reviews

Conceptualising an Alternative Political Economy of Sustainability : The Contributions of Radical Ecology and Heterodox Economics is an exceptionally well designed attempt to advance towards a synthesis of the two most important, most acute streams of critical theories of today’s human society: The one dealing with the threat of environmental collapse and the complementary one trying to overcome the misleading capitalist organisation of the human species, which drives us towards this abyss. This clearly is an extremely complicated task calling for mutual understanding and mutual incorporation of traditionally separated fields of research. The book is an important first step and I recommend it for all scholars who want to engage in this species saving quest. - Hardy Hanappi, ad personam Jean Monnet Chair for Political Economy of European Integration and professor at the Institute of Statistics and Mathematical Methods in Economics of the TU Wien. How do we best go about making sense of sustainability and its complex interconnected environmental, economic, social, and political facets? The answer lies in intellectual pluralism. By bringing different economic and ecological perspectives into dialogue with one another we improve our understanding. That’s what this volume does. It brings writers from a variety of heterodox political economy traditions—Original Institutional Economics, Marxism, and post Keynesian economics—into conversation with those writing from various radical ecology perspectives—deep ecology, bioeconomy and ecosocialism. The result is an intellectually rich discussion that points us toward productive collective purpose and policy. - Reynold Nesiba, professor of economics at Augustana University, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
