极简主义经济学:一种聚焦环境可持续性与地球承载力的新经济模式

Minimalonomics:A Novel Economic Model to Address Environmental Sustainability and Earth’s Carrying Capacity

过度消费是当今世界经济、社会和生态综合性危机的主导性因素。现存的全球环境治理体系未能有效应对当前基于过度消费的经济发展模式。目前的全球发展模式不仅缺乏对过度消费行为的有效干预,也未能建构一种基于社会公平理念的生态危机时代的经济战略。文章基于对行为经济学、循环经济以及生态经济学这三个概念学科的反思性文献回顾,阐述了一种不同于当今流行于西方世界新古典经济学的新经济分析模式,认为通过构建“极简主义经济学”这一概念理论,可以在当今经济学领域中有效整合生态经济学和行为经济学的主要原则,并在生态优先的价值观基础上推动生产者、消费者与政府等社会主体投入到应对生态危机的集体行动中。与当前西方社会中的主流经济学不同,“极简主义经济学”重申了本土化的价值,并主张在消费和环境保护等方面纳入社会文化因素考量。“极简主义经济学”对于构建应对全球生态危机的新型环境治理体系具有参考价值。

Excessive consumption is the leading factor in the current global economic,social,and ecological crisis.The existing global environmental governance system has failed to effectively address the current economic development model based on overconsumption.The current global development model not only lacks effective intervention in excessive consumption behavior,but also fails to construct an economic strategy based on the principle of social equity in the era of ecological crisis.Based on a reflective literature review of three disciplinary concepts of behavioral economics,the circular economy,and ecological economics,the paper elaborates on a new economic analysis model that differs from the currently popular neoclassical economics in the western world.The paper proposes a theoretical concept of minimalonomics that is possible to effectively integrate the main principles of ecological economics and behavioral economics in the current field of economics and promote collective actions of producers,consumers,governments,and other social entities in response to ecological crisis based on ecological priorities.Contrary to the standard economic approach in the West,minimalonomics restores the value of localization and advocates for the consideration of social and cultural factors in areas such as consumption and environmental protection. Minimalonomics provides reference for building a new environmental governance system to cope with the global ecological crisis.
