Why do we need green economics when we have ecological economics? A proposal for 'pulling people together' at the crossroad of environmental and social sustainability
by Ali Douai
International Journal of Green Economics (IJGE), Vol. 4, No. 1, 2010

Abstract: This paper argues that the epistemological and intellectual space of green economics is or should be located where ecological economics, even in its socio-economic perspective, still fails to provide a coherent conceptual framework such that environmental problems could be analysed in a holistic and inclusive way. Based on explanations of this failure, this paper provides a brief but structured research proposal which is based on the potential convergence between various heterodox 'schools' and which espouses explicitly Green Economics' aims.
