Postgrowth Imaginaries
Author: Luis I. Prádanos
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1786949369
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Postgrowth Imaginaries brings together environmental cultural studies and postgrowth economics to examine radical cultural shifts sparked by the global financial crisis. The globalization of an economic culture addicted to constant growth destroys the ecological planetary systems while failing to fulfil its social promises. A transition toward what Prádanos calls ‘postgrowth imaginaries’—the counterhegemonic cultural sensibilities that are challenging the growth paradigm—is well underway in the Iberian Peninsula today.

Recursos energètics i crisi
Author: Carles Riba i Romeva
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788499212661
Category : Education
Languages : ca
Pages : 278
Book Description
Els recursos de la natura són finits, especialment les energies no renovables, un fet que no sembla que tinguin en compte molts dels responsables polítics i empresarials. L’autor es pregunta si serà possible mantenir el sistema de desenvolupament industrial iniciat ara fa 200 anys, amb l’explotació del carbó i, més tard, del petroli, del gas natural i de l’urani. Aquesta anàlisi es basa en dades de les grans agències de l’energia (l’Energy Information Administration, EIA, del Govern dels Estats Units, i l’Agència Internacional de l’Energia, IEA-AIE, de l’OCDE), com també en altres fonts estadístiques reconegudes a escala internacional, convenientment contrastades i reelaborades. Els resultats contradiuen moltes argumentacions oficials. Mostren que la crisi energètica serà profunda i que es manifestarà ja en la dècada actual: els recursos no s’acabaran immediatament, però l’escassetat de l’oferta davant de l’augment de la demanda qüestionarà el paradigma del creixement continu. Se suggereix que la crisi financera n’ha estat un preludi. La reducció energètica començarà amb el petroli, fet que comportarà la crisi del transport, el fre de les produccions globalitzades i, en darrera instància, la crisi alimentària (també als països desenvolupats!). El canvi climàtic imparable segons les tendències analitzades serà una dificultat afegida a les readaptacions necessàries. Quin paper podria fer Europa en el futur, amb els recursos energètics ja exhaurits?
