Six perspectives on sustainable economy

What is sustainable economy? Can we decouple economic growth from its environmentally harmful effects? Is the future well-being of humanity built more on the well-being of the economy, or on the well-being of the Nature?

As I explain in my recent article, we may answer these questions in at least six ways. Our answers differ based on how we believe the world (including the Nature, the humanity, and the economy) works.

We may believe that sustainable economy is (or should be) built on:

  1. Economic growth
  2. Green growth
  3. Green economy
  4. Green degrowth
  5. Green society
  6. Green society detached from economism

What do you believe?
