"On Economization and Ecologization as Civilizing Processes"

Schmidt, C. “On Economization and Ecologization as Civilizing Processes.” Environmental Values 2, no. 1, (1993): 33–46. doi:10.3197 /096327193776679963.

In this article the meaning and main phases of “economization” as a civilizing process are outlined. It is argued that “ecologization” ’ of the current political-economic regime can, in a certain sense, be regarded as a continuation of this development. Due attention is given to the social conditions which may be favourable or impedimental to an ecologization of the economy. This article asks that environmental policies use the so-called trickle-down effect to their advantage.
