"In Culture of Ecology, Robert Babe proposes a radical move towards more ecologically sound ways of thinking, communicating, and acting, especially in terms of economics and technology. His vision for a truly sustainable future entails reformulating economics to make that discipline more environmentally friendly and in essence requires a shift in our entire cultural outlook. In his analysis, Babe presents a comparison and critique of economic and ecological discourses in the context of ecosystem vitality. While focusing mainly on present-day, dominant ecological paradigms - neoclassical economics and the ecosystem concept in ecology - he also looks at the evolution of mainstream theories as well as heterodoxies, particularly 'ecological economics.'
