Know, live and let live: Towards a redefinition of the knowledge-based economy -- sustainable development nexus

Gabriela L. Sabau

Ecological Economics, 2010, vol. 69, issue 6, 1193-1201

Abstract: Most economic analyses of the Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) and Sustainable Development (SD) use the analytical framework provided by neo-classical economics. Evolutionary and ecological approaches bring new insights and techniques borrowed mainly from evolutionary biology. This paper proposes a broader definition of both concepts and relates them by means of a wider pre-analytical vision.
