Sustainability in a Good Society: Alternate Visions from Australia and the United States

Janet Spitz

Chapter Chapter 6 in Toward a Good Society in the Twenty-First Century, 2013, pp 123-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Widely held values and attitudes toward sustainability increasingly differ from practices of globalized business as conducted under free trade, where emphasis is placed on short-run profit. Prevalent views among the US citizens, for example, support sustainability both in the generalized concept and in specific manifestations of sustainable economic and political development. These include minimizing pollution (Pew Research Center 2010, Carlson 2005), paying a reasonable wage (Pew Research Center for the People and Press 2010), and promoting democracy (Pew Research Center for the People and Press 2009).
