«The Sustainability Mirage» is the essay by John Foster on sustainable development, published by Earthscan in 2008 (170 pages, in English).
John Foster argues that sustainable development, by seeking to reconcile today's needs with obligations to the future, always ends up yielding to the pressure of the immediate and becomes an unattainable goal. Against that illusion, he proposes focusing on the deep needs of the present, taking on the carbon challenge now, and harnessing the short-term dynamics of capitalism, with new ideas on energy, governance, education and the role of business in the fight against climate change.
The full subtitle is «Illusion and Reality in the Coming War on Climate Change». Published by Earthscan in 2008, the book has 170 pages, is in English and includes bibliographic references and an index.
A work of interest to those studying sustainability, climate policies and environmental economics.
John Leslie Fitzgerald Vesey Foster, also known as John Leslie Foster-Vesey-Fitzgerald, was a politician in colonial New South Wales and Victoria (Australia).
