1 juin 1966 - The Economics of the Coming Spaceship Earth published by Kenneth Boulding

Description:

"The Economics of the Coming Spaceship Earth" is an essay written by the economist and philosopher Kenneth E. Boulding, which was published in 1966. In the essay, Boulding argues that the earth is a closed system with finite resources, and that the traditional economic model, which assumes unlimited resources and growth, is not sustainable in the long term.

Boulding suggests that a new economic system is needed, one that is based on the principles of ecological sustainability and social justice. He argues that we need to move away from the idea of "cowboy economics", where people see themselves as independent agents who can exploit nature for their own benefit, to a new kind of economics, which he calls "spaceman economics".

In spaceman economics, people see themselves as interdependent with nature, and recognize that the earth's resources are limited. This requires a new kind of economic planning, which takes into account the need to conserve resources and minimize waste. Boulding's essay has had a significant impact on the development of the environmental movement, and has helped to shape the modern discourse on sustainability and economic growth.
