A critical note on the role of the capability approach for sustainability economics
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 12:27 authored by Martin Binder, Ulrich WittCan sustainability economics profit from the fusion with Amartya Sen's capability approach, thereby gaining solid normative foundations and wider applicability? We argue that this fusion is mistaken to the extent that the capability approach is essentially a static normative framework while sustainability economics demands a systematic long-term view with focus on wide-ranging societal change. These demands are best realized by taking an evolutionary perspective that focuses on the evolution and development of societies.
