Document Summary

Blame production: relentless process of economic development. Environmental problems and policies shaped by the treadmill of production. Inherent need of economic system: continuously yield profits, expand consumer society. Position of state: economic incentives to new industry, ensure flow of natural resources to industrial producers. Dominant view: nature can be privately requisitioned, virtually no limits. Oil, natural gas, minerals, lumber, fish, water. A lot of resources have been sent to the united states. Given history of soviet-style industrialization, and now china. Unbridled industrialism + lack of environmental responsibility = basis of problem. Governments torn in two directions: promote economic development & jobs. Vs: meet public demand for environmental protection. Corporations do not see their actions towards the environment as deviant. Risk = probability a particular hazard will occur. Must defer to experts both scientific & medical. Risk assessment: organizational basis of risk, size and complexity of modern industrial societies shifting source of risk, now: large-scale organizations, beyond individual control.
