Synopsis
Enrique Leff provides a Marxist approach to environment and development that focuses on the process of production, and its implications of the environmental crisis on human values. To truly achieve a more rational and integrated use of our natural resources, he convincingly argues for a reorientation of science and technology towards the objectives of sustainable development, the decentralization of production, and the participatory management of natural resources. Elaborating the links between critical political economy of the environment and political ecology, the author offers an alternative paradigm--based on a concept of ecotechnological rationality--for understanding and effectively integrating ecological productivity, technological innovation, and cultural organization in natural resource management. In addition, he provides an illuminating critique of traditional economic approaches to environmental development planning.
