About this ebook
Clive L. Spash's book Foundations of Social Ecological Economics: The Fight for Revolutionary Change in Economic Thought (published by Manchester University Press) offers a radical critique of mainstream economics. It calls for a new economic paradigm rooted in biophysical reality, ethics, and social provisioning. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Core Themes
  • Critique of Orthodoxy: Mainstream environmental economics relies on faulty market mechanisms and continuous growth models.
  • Heterodox Synthesis: Combines insights from Marxists, feminists, institutionalists, and Post Keynesians.
  • Biophysical Reality: Re-embeds economic systems inside real-world ecological and social structures.
  • Ethics and Needs: Replaces market efficiency and consumer utility with ethical social provisioning. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Key Foundations
  • Critical Realism: Rejects relativism and embraces structural realism to build an emancipatory science.
  • Role of Ideology: Examines values and political strategy using frameworks from Marx to Gramsci.
  • Systemic Transformation: Focuses on navigating the crises of modern industrial capitalism. [1, 2, 3, 4]
