Being of deep transformations : a personal journey inspired by Clive L. Spash
No full textThe works of Clive L. Spash provided inspiration to many. In the case of my own theoretical and philosophical journey, Spash’s social ecological economics became an important grounding. However, apart from directing this journey, his works have been a major influence in another domain: the domain of my personal being in and relating with the world. This paper explicates this side of Spash’s influence. The paper’s roots specifically go back to Spash’s 2012 work on new foundations for ecological economics and the invitation he extended to his fellow humans to act personally and consistently with one’s environmental and social values. Far from glorifying the mode of being, here referred to as being of deep transformations, I aim to draw others’ attention to the challenges and constraints. </p

Cost-benefit analysis and the greenhouse effect
Full text linkThis paper looks at the growing concern over Greenhouse Gas emissions and the resulting human induced climate change. The background to a cost-benefit approach is sketched in terms of the scientific understanding and expected impacts. Then the theory behind a cost-benefit approach is explained and some of the studies and their results are critically presented. In the final section the concern for future generations is raised and a cost-benefit approach is shown to violate a right of the innocent to be free from harm. The conclusion is that economics cannot calculate the damages and the cost-benefit approach cannot therefore answer the question of how much to reduce Greenhouse Gases. Instead a range of no regrets policy actions are recommended along with changing how the deliberate creation of future harm of the innocent is treated both in economics and public policy.
