(This article by Christian Parenti is a critique of degrowth. In the
excerpt below, you get an analysis that I am very familiar with. In 1991
William Cronon wrote a book titled "Nature's Metropolis: Chicago and the
Great West" that made the case that the city's stockyards were part of
its "ecology". This is really batty stuff.)
The truth is, we are not intruders. In reality, humans have always been
an environment-making species. In fact, every species is.
What we call “nature” or “the environment” is ultimately just the sum
total of layer upon layer of organism-environment interactions. Thus it
is dynamic, not static. Every organism interacts with, and impacts, its
environment. At the same time, every organism is always also part of the
external environment of all other organisms.
