The theory of unequal ecological exchange: a Marx-Odum dialectic (2014, background): “The basis of this inequality is the fact (already emphasized by Marx) that ‘no money is paid to the environment for its extensive work’ (Odum and Odum 2001, 95), and this sets up the basis of a global Raubbau in which underdeveloped countries are systematically robbed of real wealth.”
Socially sustainable degrowth as a social–ecological transformation: repoliticizing sustainability (2015, background): “Degrowth aims to open up the democratic discussion of selective downscaling of man-made capital and of the institutions needed for such a ‘prosperous way down’ (Odum and Odum 2001).”
A review of limitations of GDP and alternative indices to monitor human wellbeing and to manage eco-system functionality (2015, background): “In the same way, the idea of a Prosperous Way Down (Odum and Odum, 2006) states that progress, wellbeing and even happiness should adapt respecting the capacity of the planet in providing resources and environmental services.”
Environmental Justice and Economic Degrowth: An Alliance between Two Movements (2012, background): “They also could have read A Prosperous Way Down by H.T. and E. Odum (2001), but they probably have not.”
