ECO-ECONOMICS [1 record]

Record 1 2009-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Economics
  • Ecology (General)
CONT

Ecology now has to latch on to economics, and to win another name. A tentative attempt to launch "ecologics" seems to have petered out. Taking after socio-economics, eco-economics might fill the bill. (The Guardian (daily), 7 Nov. 1985, p. 21.).

Key term(s)
  • ecologics
  • ecoeconomics

French

Domaine(s)
  • Économique
  • Écologie (Généralités)
OBS

Le terme «écolo» est souvent utilisé avec un sens «péjoratif» (qui manque de sérieux) : un gentil écolo, une mode écolo. L'expression «économie environnementale» (voir cette fiche) est très répandue; certains préfèrent faire une distinction entre les déterminants «environnemental» et «écologique», en fait, ces notions se recoupent souvent.
