Treadmill of Production: Injustice and Unsustainability in the Global Economy (Advancing the Sociological Imagination Series)

Schnaiberg’s idea of the treadmill of manufacturing is arguably probably the most seen and enduring idea to emerge in three many years of environmental sociology. Elaborated and examined, it has been discovered to be an correct predictor of political-economic modifications within the international financial system. Within the international South, it has figures prominently within the work of structural environmental analysts and has been utilized by many political-economic actions. Constructing new extensions and purposes of the treadmill idea, this new guide exhibits how and why northern analysts and governments have failed to guard our surroundings and safe our future. Utilizing an empirically primarily based political-economic perspective, the authors define the causes of environmental degradation, the boundaries of environmental safety insurance policies, and the failures of institutional decision-makers to guard human well-being.
