Indigo Rethinking Economic Theories: A New Political Economy for the Biosphere | Erin Mills Town Centre

In recent times, economic theories have provided the dominant explanations of how to understand and organize human societies. This book argues that the study of economic theories must not be restricted to the disciplines of economics, political economy, or economic sociology but must also encompass our relationship to the biosphere. In this new Volume, Tiago Cardão-Pito further develops his innovative system to organize the major economic theories into two major theoretical groups: one is termed 'hedonist economic theory' (primarily mainstream economics which generally defends moneyed persons politically) and the other is work-based economic theory (the most well-known version of which is Marxism, which defends workers politically). It is shown that economics can only be understood through the political disputes between these two major theories, but it is also argued that both major economic theories are fundamentally unprepared for addressing human societies and the biosphere. They both attribute metaphysical status to money, describing monetary flows as the constitutive being of economic, social, and ecological phenomena. Furthermore, both theories follow the overinclusive and tautological post-Adam Smith concept of capital, which confuses monetary and non-monetary flows. Although human work remains highly relevant in our technologically enhanced times, this book demonstrates that returning to work-based economic theory is no longer a viable option to contest the dominance of hedonist economic theory. A new bio-social theory is required to explain the integration of human societies into the biosphere. The book is vital reading for students and scholars of economic and social theory, political economy, economic sociology, organization, sustainability and ecological issues, environment and economics, environment and philosophy, environment and society, environment and business, environmental politics, environmental studies, philosophy of social science and political philosophy.
