Las teorías económicas del desarrollo sostenible

Launched as a motto twenty years ago, sustainable development has become one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century. Presented as the solution to all the problems that appear to the humanity, sustainable development appears as an enigma: how it is possible to increase the well-being of the world population, to fight against the social inequalities and, simultaneously, to preserve the dynamics of the biosphere? Should we trust on capitalism and regulation of prices, create new rules that fit the capitalism and, if it is the case, they must be produced by public or private actors? The issue of sustainable development leads us to ask us about the notions of growth, development, welfare and on the relevancy of the decrease, at least in the most prosperous regions of the planet.
