Title
Treadmill of Production: Injustice and Unsustainability in the Global Economy (Advancing the Sociological Imagination Series),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Schnaiberg's concept of the treadmill of production is arguably the most visible and enduring theory to emerge in three decades of environmental sociology. Elaborated and tested, it has been found to be an accurate predictor of politicaleconomic changes in the global economy. In the global South, it has figures prominently in the work of structural environmental analysts and has been used by many politicaleconomic movements. Building new extensions and applications of the treadmill theory, this new book shows how and why northern analysts and governments have failed to protect our environment and secure our future. Using an empirically based politicaleconomic perspective, the authors outline the causes of environmental degradation, the limits of environmental protection policies, and the failures of institutional decisionmakers to protect human wellbeing.
