The Ecology and the Economy: What is Rational?

https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2006-11-95-103

Abstract

The article considers the problem of the global environmental change and its consequences. The author puts the environmentalists’ goals into the context of the geopolitical situation in the world-system and the structural features of the capitalist society. He suggests a complex view of coping with ecological difficulties, trying to combine intellectual, moral and political aspects of solving the said problems.
