Ce que Marx avait théorisé en termes d’antagonisme entre ville et campagne se vérifiait: notre modèle de développement ne cesse de créer des externalités. La périphérie, qu’elle soit rurale ou coloniale, soutient l’approvisionnement et l’enrichissement du centre

#KoheiSaito's book is telling me about a lot of #ThresholdConcepts and #KeyPeople. I'm wondering why I never heard of them before. One #KeyPerson seems to be #DanielONeill with a #GoodLife within #PlanetaryBoundaries. I #SaitoKohei's reworking of this visualization, more of an outlier than #SriLanka, #Vietnam transgresses only one #BiophysicalBoundary while achieving 6 #SocialThresholds. I just saw an interview of @JayatiGhosh where she mentions #SuzyPaine and #DoiMoi.

A Good Life For All Within Planetary Boundaries

See how countries have been moving towards (or away from) the goal of meeting the needs of their residents within the means of the planet.

A Good Life For All Within Planetary Boundaries
Only 53 pages into #KoheiSaito's 364-page #Japanese book on the #Anthropocene and #Capitalism or whatever today's #GlobalEconomy now has in common with the economy #KarlMarx wrote about. The book mentions #Wallerstein, #ImmanuelWallerstein too. As with #NaomiKlein's #ThisChangesEverything #SaitoKohei's book is putting new articles into context. The rich countries can't #externalize #外部化 as much of the #risk and #cost anymore.

> .. 地球のすみずみまで、人間が作った道路やビル、河川敷、農地などがありますよね。海に目を向ければ、海洋プラスチックゴミだらけ。大気には.. 二酸化炭素が増え続けています。さらにはプルトニウムやセシウムが飛んでいる地域もある..どこに行っても、人類の活動がなんらかの形で覆って.. います。
 これをどう見るべきでしょうか。人間が地球全体を自由に支配し操れる時代になったわけではありません。むしろ逆に人間が制御できないような、様々な自然現象が生じている。その際たる例が#気候変動 です。気候変動の影響で、#スーパー台風、ハリケーン、#山火事..#異常気象 が発生しています.. 放置しておくと、#水不足#食糧危機などの問題が起き、生物の多様性が失われて、多くの場所が人間の住める地球環境ではなくなってしまう..時代に突入しているということです。
