Excellent- More about Navigating Global Environmental Sustainability: Enriching Well-Being in the Wake of the Great-Recession
The Great Recession provided an opportunity to reconsider how to enhance the well-being of individuals, corporations, countries, and the global environment. Bret L. Billet argues that the simultaneous investigation of the Ecological Modernization theory and the Ecological Unequal Exchange theory strengthens the present quantitative analysis, enhancing understanding of the recession, well-being, and sustainable environment nexus.

The Great Recession presented a unique opportunity to reevaluate our approach to achieving simultaneous well-being for individuals, corporations, countries, and the global environment. With a wealth of vital environmental data spanning half a century, it is crucial to examine the impact of economic downturns on sustainable environmental consumption. Does the recession serve as a platform for fruitful dialogue that can reconcile the apparent contradiction between economic and ecological rationales? Can it be seen as an artificial "turning point," where appropriate incentives can drive positive change? Are post-recession environmental consumption patterns indicative of government encouragement and corporate willingness to pursue transformative environmental technologies? Alternatively, could they suggest countries shifting their environmental consumption to other nations through international trade?
Bret L. Billet contends that the simultaneous exploration of both the Ecological Modernization theory and the Ecological Unequal Exchange theory enhances the current quantitative analysis, providing a deeper understanding of the recession, well-being, and sustainable environment nexus. Each ecological theory is rooted in the politicized evolution of traditional theories of economic development. The integration of an Aristotelean conception of development as well-being, a vast array of cases, and the analysis of multiple country subsets leads to a more robust inquiry into the consequences of the Great Recession on the global sustainable environment.
