What is it about?

The goal of this study is to investigate the problems caused by the rapid growth of the global economy, coupled with high population growth and the excessive exploitation of natural resources. The global economy will not be able to maintain its current speed of growth in the long term, so a paradigm shift in production and consumption is necessary, if the collapse of ecosystems and the concurrent depletion of natural resources are to be avoided. This is the reason why capitalism needs to take a turn towards a sustainable and naturally harmonized development model.

Why is it important?

We argue that contemporary capitalism should take a new direction towards a sustainable and naturally harmonized development model or it will soon face collapse.

Perspectives

We developed a sustainable and naturally harmonized development model. According to the industrial model of capitalism that has led to the economic and environmental crisis, the modelling of sustainable and naturally harmonized development needs to be focused on the global economy, including both developed and developing countries.
