The 2022 framework of irresponsible market structures, population dynamics, and system stability, as proposed by Luis T. Muñoz, critically exposes the neutrality assumptions embedded in traditional ecological overshoot models. These models often treat markets as passive mediators, overlooking their active role in driving overconsumption and unsustainable population growth through mechanisms like mispriced resources and manipulative marketing. By integrating market behavior as a root cause, the framework reveals how economic incentives exacerbate ecological overshoot, with 2022 data showing humanity’s ecological footprint at 1.7 times Earth’s biocapacity. However, it risks underemphasizing cultural and political factors, such as resistance to population control, and faces challenges in overcoming entrenched economic growth paradigms. This holistic approach demands a reevaluation of overshoot analyses, urging policies that reform market structures alongside population strategies to ensure systemic stability.
