ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY There is agreement that theory must match the practice to achieve
consistency, yet there is not a well accepted economic sustainability theory
to deal with economic sustainability failures. Due to this, non-system
thinking is being used to address systematic problems. In my opinion, this
inconsistency between additive theory and systematic practice must be
eliminated. In other words, how can we expect to solve systematic problems
using non-system based theoretical tools? As it can be seen on the figure, there can be economic sustainability. However, for economic sustainability to exist, we must assume either that social and environmental sustainability exist at the same time or that the society and the environment are passive components of the system ready available for the sole purpose of fulfilling economic goals. The above provides a different way of looking at economic development issues. The work presented or expected in this section deals with economic sustainability theory and issues and ideas on how to develop practical applications. The work is divided in four categories: a) published work; b) work being evaluated/reviewed or on the way to publication; c) draft work available for evaluation/revision; and d) work in progress or planned.
