By this time, when main knowledge gaps in development and economic thinking as they relate to sustainability and critical development problems are closed and people continue to write as if that knowledge do not exist, especially researchers in these areas, it makes you wonder what has happen to science based thinking since 1987/WCED.
Can you see the main contradictions in the title of paper in researchgate right now I saw today, and the main irony as it relates to true sustainability thinking?
Tittle: "Economic Sustainability as a Basis for Circular Economy: Economic Growth and Reduction of Environmental Pollution"
A short answer is best just listing the contradictions and the irony.
I will reply
Note:
This is an academic question, not a critic, and I respect other researchers way of doing things as long as it relates to the persuit of the scientific truth or the moving away from it, but that should be clear. Done because you can no longer make comments on papers directly in researchgate.
The title “Mainstream economy and development thoughts and contradictions” itself reveals a paradox, since mainstream economics often emphasizes growth, efficiency, and globalization, while development thought highlights equity, sustainability, and local context—values that sometimes contradict each other in both theory and practice.
Chuck, the title in question is Tittle: "Economic Sustainability as a Basis for Circular Economy: Economic Growth and Reduction of Environmental Pollution"
Can you see the contradictions?
The phrase “mainstream economy and development thoughts and contradictions” points to tensions such as growth and efficiency being emphasized while equity and capability expansion are sidelined, market primacy being favored over structural transformation and institutions, rational actor models clashing with bounded rationality and social norms, and equilibrium thinking opposing the dynamic and nonlinear realities of development, making the title itself suggestive of contradictions between orthodox economic models and complex development challenges.
Chuck, last time, can you see the contradictions in this type of mainstrxeam economy and development thinking as expressed in the title of publication: Tittle: "Economic Sustainability as a Basis for Circular Economy: Economic Growth and Reduction of Environmental Pollution"
CAN YOU SEE the contradictions in this title? This is the TYPE OF MAINSTREM thinking the question is about, but it seems you are not reading the contect of the question and you are focus on the general thing not on this espefic title linked to the general thing.
