Título: | Energy, property, and the industrial revolution narrative | Autor: | Barca, Stefania | Palavras-chave: | Economic growth narrative; Energy inequalities; Environmental history | Data: | 2011 | Editora: | Elsevier | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Ecological Economics | Volume: | 70 | Número: | 7 | Resumo: | The Industrial Revolution (IR) story is the core of a mainstream economic history narrative of energy/development relationships, celebrating Modern Economic Growth (MEG) as the increase in per capita energy consumption in the last two centuries. Such a narrative emphasizes mineral technology and private property as the key elements of growth processes. I will criticize the above narrative, from a socio-environmental history perspective, for its inability to account for two crucial aspects of energy history: 1. the role of social power as key determinant in how energy sources are used and to what ends; 2. the socio-ecological costs associated with the increase of energy consumption. I will then review Environmental History studies on energy/industrialization and highlight possible future developments in the field. The article makes a strong point for the need to look at energy transitions as social processes, and to include the unequal distribution of environmental, health, and social costs of mineral energy into global history narratives. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/42836 | ISSN: | 0921-8009 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2010.03.012 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2010.03.012 |
