Terms in this set (71)



Rees's thesis The standard economic model is materialist and incompatible with
ecological reality. Treat the environment as capital and live off the interest,
not the principal.


Growmania Rees's term for mainstream economics' assumption that endless growth is
not just possible but axiomatically necessary.




Second Law of Thermodynamics (Rees's use) In any closed system, energy and matter are continuously and irrevocably
degraded; this means economic "production" is really "consumption."


Ecological capital Rees's metaphor: species and ecosystems as savings; the "interest" is
annual growth/reproduction we can sustainably use.


Ecological services The free hidden work ecosystems do for us (absorbing waste, pollination,
water filtration). We'd otherwise have to pay for these.


Rees's definition of sustainable development Any positive change that doesn't erode the ecological, social, or political
systems society depends on.
