This book traces the interacting histories of the disciplines of
ecology and economics, from their common origin in the ancient
Greek concept of oikonomia, through their distinct encounters with
energy physics, to the current obstruction of neoliberal economics
to responses to the ecological and climate crisis of the so-called
Anthropocene. Reconstructing their constitution as separate
sciences in the era of fossil-fuelled industrial capitalism, the
book offers an explanation of how the ecological sciences have
moved from a position of critical collision with mainstream
economics in the 1970s, to one of collusion with the project of
permanent growth, in and through the thermal crisis of the
biosphere.
