A bioregional economy: A green and post-capitalist alternative to an economy of accumulation

Abstract: Some of the most compelling explanations for the current crisis reasoning comes from a Marxist understanding of how rising inequality and accumulation by dispossession during the neoliberal era led to economic instability. Other arguments put forward tend to ignore the inappropriateness of stimulating aggregate demand in an era when we have already grown beyond the planetary boundary, as evidenced by the crises of land use, climate change, and resource depletion. It may not be possible to address these problem… Show more

“…It included community participation, preservation of local values and identities, and enhancement of the quality of life (OECD, 2014). James and Cato (2014) ensured that the over-consumption and uncontrolled economic growth in capitalist models led to the destruction of the social and environmental conditions. Accordingly, practices of Capitalism could limit the use of resources of the ecosystem, which can cause underproduction by the enterprises that fail to protect a sustained production level.…”

“…Accordingly, practices of Capitalism could limit the use of resources of the ecosystem, which can cause underproduction by the enterprises that fail to protect a sustained production level. Moreover, the theoretical studies, enforced by the catastrophic statistics on global warming and poor cities footprint indicators revealed after Second World War, introduced the concepts of institutional quality, governance, innovation and sustainable local economic development (SLED) as a solution to comply with changing in the individual and collective production and consumption patterns, and environmental sustainability (James and Cato, 2014).…”

“…Resilience is unobtainable, it is argued, in the absence of self-reliance, which, in turn, requires a situation where basic needs can be satisfied using locallyproduced goods and services. With its dependence on long, transnational, carbon-intensive supply chains, our contemporary globalised society is viewed as representing the very antithesis of resilience (Heinberg, 2011;James and Cato, 2014).…”

“…Our commentary integrates two socio-environmental visions dealing with (i) soil degradation (incorporating a specific issue dealing with ecosystem's services) and (ii) local system's complexity (mixing issues of system's sustainability-basically referring to socioeconomic resilience-with the final aim at achieving a better comprehension of local systems under complex socioeconomic dynamics) and ecological problems in Mediterranean Europe, a bio-climatic region with intense sensitivity to soil degradation. Understanding sustainability vs. resilience conflicts is a central issue in the assessment of land resources [52][53][54][55][56][57].…”
