Innovatively rethinking the discipline of political economy, Fred
P. Gale builds on a range of contemporary examples to develop a
pluralistic conception of sustainability value that underpins
sustainable development. He identifies why current approaches are
having no meaningful impact and unifies diverse perspectives into
one integrative approach. This definitive work argues that
sustainability value?s realization requires a complete rethink of
the way firms and polities are governed, challenging the idea that
preferences are rational. Treating sustainability value as
supervening on four other elemental economic values, the book
illustrates how '?tetravaluation?' is being partially realized at
the level of the firm and the state. With vast differences in
institutional requirements across conventional liberal, nationalist
and socialist frameworks, Gale implores political economy to
abandon its monistic modernist legacy and embrace the pluralistic,
reflexive and interdisciplinary standpoint that sustainability
demands. With striking implications for existing political,
economic and cultural institutions, Gale offers a new perspective
on generating better policy outcomes for public policy
professionals and sustainability practitioners. This book is a
must-read for public policy theorists, political and ecological
economists, and environmental policy researchers, as Gale
challenges the conventional ideas linked to the functioning of
liberal democracy and explores the future of political economic
thought.
