Abstract: The challenge of sustainable development is to integrate the long-term in our decisions taking into account the complete cycles of energy and matter resulting from our activity and biological framework. Awareness of these problems has increased gradually during the second half of the last century installing a tension between the concern of everyone for the future generations and the feeling that the so-called neoclassical economic rationality brought no really satisfactory answer. Today many believe that progress in its current form is less able to repair its own damage or negligence and contests philosophy focusing solely on technical innovation. But this opposition, instead of generating a progressive attitudes and policies through reasoned changes of legal frameworks and economic rules, has in recent years taken an unexpected turn and paradoxical balance sheet, due to the financial crisis.
