Her early years, shaped by divorce, Elinor Ostroms Rules for Radicals: Cooperative Alternatives beyond Markets and States depression and the Second World War, seem to have instilled a frugality in her that is perhaps unusual for economists and might have contributed to her later passion for ecological living. Institutions are sets of rules created by human beings; economists sometimes forget that economic activity does not just happen, but is shaped by political institutions too. Elinor Ostrom's Rules for Radicals: Cooperative Alternatives Beyond Markets and States She was frustrated because she felt that political science did not attempt to build analysis in a step by step way, but focused on personalities and conflicting schools of thought.

    Int. J. Green Economics, Vol. 1, Nos. 1/2, 2006 201 Green economics: an introduction and research agenda Derek Wall Goldsmiths College, University of London New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Green economics: An introduction and research agenda, examines the historical evolution of green economics, a discourse which is marked by antipathy to the foundational assumptions of conventional market based economics. Green opposition to growth and the market is identified along with values of ecological sustainability, social justice, decentralisation and peace. To move beyond a critical account, green economics, as a discipline, needs to establish a research agenda based on: 1 examining global political economy 2 developing forms of regulation beyond the market and the state 3 examining the transition to such an alternative economy. Keywords: green economics; global political economy; regulation; transition; economic growth; anti-capitalism; Marx; open source; usufruct; commons. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Wall, D. (2006) ‘Green economics: an introduction and research agenda’, Int. J. Green Economics, Vol. 1, Nos. 1/2, pp.201–214. Biographical notes: Derek Wall teaches Political Economy at Goldsmiths College, University of London in the Politics Department. His PhD, ‘The Politics of Earth First! UK’ was completed in 1998. He has published six books on green economics including, most recently, Babylon and Beyond: The Economics of Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Globalist and Radical Green Movements (Pluto 2005). He is a long standing eco-socialist and the founder of the Association of Socialist Greens. He is a member of International Zen Association. His next book, Shopping Without Money, will look at a wide variety of non-monetary forms of economic regulation.

  • Derek Wall, Economics After Capitalism
    Economics After Capitalism: A Guide to the Ruins and a Road to the Future By Derek Wall, Pluto Press, 2015. Reviewed by David Parker IN 2013, GREG Mankiw, former economics adviser to George W. Bush and currently Professor of Economics at Harvard, published a paper titled (without irony) ‘Defending the one percent’.1 In this paper Mankiw wrote ‘It is, I believe, hard to square the rhetoric of 184 Counterfutures 1 the Left with the economist’s standard framework’.2 Mankiw takes the standard neoclassical economic framework as a set of universal objective truths, unquestioned and unquestionable. The Left’s analysis (I prefer the word to ‘rhetoric’) is rejected because it does not conform to this set of supposed truths. Well there’s a surprise. It does not seem to have occurred to Mankiw that there might just be a rather significant logical flaw in this one- sided inquiry. His determined unwillingness to consider whether the problem he sought to expose may conceivably lie within the unstated assumptions of neoclassical economics also comes as no surprise. But it could explain why a group of students walked out of Mankiw’s classroom, dissatisfied with what they described as the ‘overly conservative bias in the course.’3 The same year that Mankiw’s paper appeared, another group of disgruntled economics students at the University of Manchester formed the Post Crash Economics Society (Inman, 2013).4 They too were unhappy with their course: they were taught neoclassical economics as if it were the only theory in town. Their course did not address their world of global fnancial crisis and austerity, and their lecturers did not fnd time to consider alternative views from economists such as Keynes, let alone any Marxist critique.

    Department of Environment and Resource Studies, University of Waterloo ERS 310 Environmental Thought (Environmental Analysis and Solutions V) Fall 2014 Instructor: Bob Gibson, EV2 2037, Ext. 33407, [email protected] Tutorial leaders: Maya Basdeo, Nathalie Gingras, Beth Timmers Organization: Lectures: Tuesday 10:30-12:30, DWE 2527 Tutorials Thursday 8:30-9:20, AL 210 and EV1 225 Thursday 9:30-10:20, HH 123, EV1 225 Thursday 2:30-3:20, EV1 225, HH 124 Description and Rationale Humans with their big brains now dominate the planet so fully that there are proposals to name the current geological epoch the Anthropocene. This is a mixed accomplishment. Certainly it indicates impressive power. But what we are doing on Earth is wrecking the place. While some of the dominant trends of human activities and their effects are positive (uneven but generally greater infant survival, lifespan, literacy and access to goods and services, etc.), in the bigger picture the major trends (especially the combination of ecological stresses, climate instability, inequity and poverty) are towards deeper unsustainability. For our own foreseeable interests, certainly for those of our children and for many other life forms on the planet, we need to reverse these trends. The situation immediately begs large questions about what alternative ways of living would work better and how can we make the needed changes. But before leaping to answers, it would seem to be sensible to learn from what we’ve done in the past, what capacities and potentials we’ve demonstrated, what might be possible and realistic as well as desirable in the future.

  • Derek Wall Babylon and Beyond: the Economics of Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Globalist and Radical Green Movements
    Canadian Journal of Sociology Online January-February 2006 Derek Wall Babylon and Beyond: The Economics of Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Globalist and Radical Green Movements. Pluto Press, 2005, 232 pp. $US 22.95 paper (0745323901), $US 80.00 hardcover (074532391X) This book fits nicely within a developing literature on socio-political currents opposing globalized capitalism; indeed, it provides a useful guide to the field, cutting across the boundaries of disciplines and political ideologies in a wide-ranging survey of perspectives. Within his purview Wall includes the anti-capitalist capitalists — lapsed organic intellectuals of global capital such as Joseph Stiglitz and George Soros — whose alternatives amount to a bid to salvage market society via global Keynesianism, but the focus is on approaches emanating from without and from below. He canvasses the critiques of rampant corporate power offered by Naomi Klein, David Korten and others; the Marxist analysis of exploitation, capital accumulation, imperialism and recent globalization; the autonomist analysis of Empire and Multitude; the small-is-beautiful vision of green localism; and the more comprehensive ecosocialist project, to which Wall seems most sympathetic. There is even discussion of Major Douglas’s ‘social credit’ alternative to domination by the banks, deftly joined to more recent ventures into monetary reform such as the Paris-based Association for the Taxation of Transactions and for Aid to Citizens (ATTAC) — advocates of the Tobin Tax on speculative financial transactions. Wall addresses these various anti-capitalist currents in terms of three implicit thematics: the sociological, the theoretical and the practical, with an emphasis on the latter two. He offers accounts of the various elements of anti-capitalist movement activism that have provided social bases for alternative economics.

In Facing the Apocalypse, Alan Thornett, a former trade union activist in the British automobile industry during the 1960s and 1970s, has written a readable and engaging argument for the need to turn to eco-socialism as a strategy to mitigate climate change. He supports the Red Green Labour network, an eco-socialist current within the Labour Party.
