Human Well-being and the Biosphere
Résumé
During The Tocqueville Review/La Revue Tocqueville‘s recent conference on the notion of Well-Being, economist Eloi Laurent gave a presentation entitled “Human Well-being and the Biosphere: Connecting the Circles,” in which he argued that in the face of ecological crises, human well-being must be understood in connection to the health of ecosystems. In other words, that there is a reciprocal relation between social justice and ecological sustainability. Following the conference, Stephen Sawyer and Arthur Goldhammer had these questions for Laurent, building on the approach he outlined in his presentation. Eloi Laurent’s latest book is Et si la santé guidait le monde, published this year at Les liens qui libèrent. [Introduction]
