Land and Resource Scarcity - Capitalism, Struggle and Well-being in a World without Fossil Fuels (Hardcover, New): Andreas... Land and Resource Scarcity - Capitalism, Struggle and Well-being in a World without Fossil Fuels (Hardcover, New)

R4,456 Discovery Miles 44 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book brings together geological, biological, radical economic, technological, historical and social perspectives on peak oil and other scarce resources. The contributors to this volume argue that these scarcities will put an end to the capitalist system as we know it and alternatives must be created. The book combines natural science with emancipatory thinking, focusing on bottom up alternatives and social struggles to change the world by taking action. The volume introduces original contributions to the debates on peak oil, land grabbing and social alternatives, thus creating a synthesis to gain an overview of the multiple crises of our times. The book sets out to analyse how crises of energy, climate, metals, minerals and the soil relate to the global land grab which has accelerated greatly since 2008, as well as to examine the crisis of profit production and political legitimacy. Based on a theoretical understanding of the multiple crises and the effects of peak oil and other scarcities on capital accumulation, the contributors explore the social innovations that provide an alternative. Using the most up to date research on resource crises, this integrative and critical analysis brings together the issues with a radical perspective on possibilites for future change as well as a strong social economic and ethical dimesion. The book should be of interest to researchers and students of environmental policy, politics, sustainable development and natural resource management.

Die Wirtschaft im Raum der ehemaligen DDR befindet sich in einer Uber- gangsphase. Der Wechsel des Ordnungssystems geht mit einem tiefen wirt- schaftlichen Einbruch einher. Die tiber Jahrzehnte gewachsenen Wirtschafts- strukturen halten dem Wettbewerbsdruck der Marktwirtschaft nicht stand und fallen auseinander. Neues tritt erst allmahlich und zeitlich versetzt an deren Stelle. Eine Ubergangswirtschaft bildet sich heraus, in der das alte, planwirt- schaftliche System nicht mehr und das neue, marktwirtschaftliche System noch nicht das Wirtschaftsgeschehen bestimmt. Eine solche Situation ist nicht nur fUr die Wirtschaftspolitik und die Wirt- schaftstheorie eine groBe Herausforderung, sondern auch fUr die wirtschafts- mathematische Modellierung. Aber kann sie tiberhaupt zur wissenschaftlichen ErkIarung und Prognose des turbulenten Geschehens beitragen? 1st ein solcher Versuch nicht von vornherein zum Scheitern verurteilt, wenn tiber das Ver- halten der Wirtschaftssubjekte in der Umbruchphase genau so wenig Erfah- rungswerte und zuverlassige Informationen vorliegen wie zur Systemtransfor- mati on iiberhaupt? Die Antwort auf diese Fragen hangt in erster Linie von der Wahl der Untersu- chungsmethode abo Die vorliegende Modellierungssituation mit ihren Diskon- tinuitaten, Strukturbrtichen und Instabilitaten der Entwicklung ist erfaBbar mit der Methode der Systemdynamik. Sie bildet die Grundlage des im folgenden dargestellten Ubergangsmodells Ostdeutschlands von der Plan-zur Marktwirt- schaft und der mit ihm durchgefUhrten Modellexperimente. Kapitel 1 hat die Ausgangslage der ostdeutschen Wirtschaft vor dem Ubergang zur marktwirtschaftlichen Ordnung zum Gegenstand. Die Erstarrung des plan- wirtschaftlichen Systems und seine Entwicklungsschwachen in den achtziger Jahren werden analysiert. Der Stand der Entwicklung wird von verschiedenen Seiten gegentiber der frtiheren Bundesrepublik eingeschiitzt.
