重读稳态经济:循环经济热的冷思考

Re-reading Steady-state: Thinking of Circular Economy

稳态经济观从物质与能量平衡的角度出发,主张在自然和社会经济两系统中均保持低流通率以实现可持续发展;由于稳态经济观潜在的反消费主义与反技术万能倾向,它一直没有成为主流理论,在发展循环经济的过程中,有必要反思并从稳态经济理论中汲取营养。对于自然资源和环境资源并不富裕的中国,在发展循环经济的过程中,不仅要算物质的回收利用账,更要算能量账和低熵物质的成本账。

Based on keeping the balance of substance and energy, steady-state economics argues that low circular rate should be kept in two systems of nature and social-economy with the aim of sustainable development. As its tendency of abstention from consumption and suspicion of technical omnipotence, steady-state economics has never been a mainstream theory. However, in the process of promoting circular economy, it is necessary to review and assimilate nutrition from steady-state economics. China is not rich in the natural and environmental resources, so the material recovery the cost of energy and low-entropy material should be taken into consideration in the process of developing circular economy.
