A Historical Perspective on Ecological Debt
Martínez Alier, Joan
A Historical Perspective on Ecological Debt - 2025.
65
This brief text provides a historical perspective on the ecological debt that so-called “developed” colonizing nations have accumulated (without ever having formally contracted it) towards their environments, as well as towards the populations of the “Third World”. This perspective is all the more interesting given that this text, originally written in 2002, remains dramatically topical twenty-three years later, attesting to the tragic immobility that has characterized decades that are often perceived as having been swept along by an unmanageable “acceleration”.
