La mise en économie de la nature, contrepoints historiques et contemporains

Harold Levrel and Antoine Missemer

Revue économique, 2019, vol. 70, issue 1, 97-122

Abstract: Economics and economic activities are often considered as a source of alienation of nature, seen as a commodity delivering ecosystem services to be valued in order to provide benefits to people, without any considerations regarding idiosyncratic values.?This economization process is supposed to occur through various mechanisms such as monetary valuation, privatization, etc.?These phenomena do exist, but in-depth analysis reveals that these mechanisms are not necessarily well defined, and that these commodification processes are not new, neither irreversible, nor a one way trend.?It seems that economization processes are more hybrid than assumed, and that many trends can be considered as a naturalisation of the economy and of economics.
