Richard Norgaard (UC Berkeley) comments that “Rethinking sustainability moves the debate from efficiency toward the distribution of power, from free markets toward sharing common assets, from global generalities towards local specifics, and from expert knowledge toward shared learning. This rebalancing is sorely needed”.
