Abstract: Globalization, monetarization and sustainability. Observations on actual trends in economy, society and environment of Samoa. Samoa so far has had an intact subsistence-production based on an economy and society in balance with the ecological system. Theoretically founded on the grounds of the entropy-law and methodologically implemented by a set of tested sustainabilityindicators this paper maintains the thesis that the integration of the Samoan economy with recently high GDP-growth rates has led the system to an abrupt increase of entropy, driving back subsistence production, transforming land tenure to individualisation, threatening decentralisation and polluting the environment
