Dominique Bourg co-directed
La pensée écologique. Une anthologie (literally "Ecological Thinking: an Anthology") with Antoine Fragnière (2014) and the
Dictionnaire de la pensée écologique ("Dictionary of Ecological Thinking") with Alain Papaux (2015). He analyses that, "Ecological thinking is characterised by a critique of modernity, a scepticism about the possibility of solving environmental problems through technology and a questioning of the separation between humans and nature". According to Bourg, the root of the global problem (the deterioration of the environment) is the flow of materials and energy (linked with
consumerism). He also thinks that over the last decades,
economic growth increased
wealth concentration and
economic inequality while accelerating the destruction of natural resources and ecosystems, but without fulfilling its promise to provide more jobs or make people happier. == Honours ==
