Ambiguous relationship of ecology to productive work

Laurent Etre, Ambiguous relationship of ecology to productive work Political ecology is divided between the followers of green growth, absorbed in global capitalism, and the anti productivists However, this internal feud should not hide a common and coherent vision of the world based on a negative relationship to productive work But can we really question the purpose of production, including environmental criteria, without first emphasizing the value of man at work ? By subsuming the social relations of production in the relationship between man and nature, these ecological approaches spread more or less a fear of progress itself This can be in contradiction with their democratic ambitions and lead to the reproduction of class inequalities
