WHAT TEACHES SUSTAINABILITY THE PROPOSAL “AGAINST SUPPORTABLE “ BY ANDREU ESCRIVÀ
The terms sustainability and viable supportable are different, not sequential, not complementary, they are not stages of the same process, they are antagonistic. Sustainability is unviable. Sustainability aims to maintain economic and business conditions in a given context of time and space, being one of the means to achieve this the partial protection of natural and social capital in a territory, provided that this action represents financial returns. Viable (supportable) aims to maintain optimal ecological conditions based on life; To achieve this, the dynamics of production and consumption must be reconsidered, and if necessary, abandon the desires for economic growth and development, visions that it leaves behind to pursue the search for progress, good living and harmony in the territorial community. This document is built from the reflections presented by Andreu Escrivà in the work “Against sustainability”, in which he builds a critique of sustainability as a misleading, apparent, uncoordinated and feigned language of a socio-environmental responsibility that is not embodied in its actuate. The REDICEAC (Economic, Administrative and Accounting Sciences Research Network) finds that the arguments presented by the author contribute to founding the term viable (supportable) that the organization has wanted to promote as a brake on the sustainability model based on the economy of waste, unlimited growth and the excessive consumption.
