As one example, the medical profession has not made adequate use of nutritional information to improve the health of the population. Daily values for vitamins were established in the United States during World War II, when the goal was to avoid short-term deficiencies so soldiers could continue to fight. But there is more to health than short-term survival. Linus Pauling advocated megadoses of vitamin C to reduce the risk of cancer and to improve long-term health. Despite numerous studies demonstrating that better nutrition and exercise are vital to a longer span of good health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not permit claims to be made about the health benefits of specific nutritional supplements. The FDA is responsive to political pressures, including pressures to reduce public knowledge of supplements and their benefits. Pharmaceutical companies contribute to members of Congress to influence health policy. Those companies promote legislation and regulations that favor the use of expensive medical treatments and that limit the provision of cost-effective public health measures. This article reviews many examples of failures of our current medical system, and methods that could prevent the current expense and suffering in this nation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47133,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Economics and Sociology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49199225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using this power, wealthy countries in the Global North are capable of steering mainstream discourse on global environmental issues in directions that benefit and privilege themselves at the expense of the Global South. Analysis should thus be applied not only to ecological imperialism in the pure economic sense, but also to the uneven power relations in the political and ideological arena that serve to reproduce ecological imperialism in an overarching sense. This article, inspired by the concept of ecological imperialism developed in the Marxian tradition, explores how researchers and global institutions in the Global North frame the narratives of climate change culpability through selective presentation of emission statistics that tends to minimize the accountability of the North while inflating that of the Global South. Such narratives also contain the Malthusian perception that economic development and population growth in the Global South, above all, should be taken as major threats to climate change solutions. This type of reasoning again serves to justify and maintain the current hierarchical global system and reinforce ecological imperialism.</p>","PeriodicalId":47133,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Economics and Sociology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43892191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the extant literature on the subject contains two major gaps. First, the non-English-speaking world is woefully underrepresented. Second, previous analyses have employed mainly Marxist analytical frameworks; consequently, the efficacy of alternative frameworks in analyzing ecological imperialism remains largely undeveloped. To bridge these two gaps, I focus on two areas: 1) the role of France, and 2) the value of postcolonialism as an analytic framework. France is a non-English-speaking polity at the forefront of colonialism and imperialism and one with a devastating ecological footprint. It influences contemporary development efforts in the countries it controlled as colonies, and it continues to dominate them as a neocolonial power. Postcolonialism serves as a versatile analytical framework for understanding and changing ecological imperialism.</p>","PeriodicalId":47133,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Economics and Sociology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48333756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many critics contend so, but the recent state of the art in economics suggests not. Respectively drawing on reformist neoclassical economics, neoclassical microeconomics “proper,” and behavioral economics, major studies show that mainstream economics provides theories of inequality and unsustainability. However, the theories of causation utilized remain largely neoclassical. Similarly, the bases for repairing the harms are grounded in neoclassical reasoning, while the mechanisms for restoration—ranging from minimalist interventions and income and substitution effects to behavioral nudges—are still mainstream. Fundamentally, they say little or nothing substantial about ecological imperialism, at the heart of which are rent theft and ecological debt, two critical cornerstones of world ecological crises. Therefore, mainstream economists certainly have, use, and apply theories of inequality and unsustainability, but mainstream economists neither have, use, nor apply transformative theories of social stratification, nor ecological imperialism generally. The overall effect of this disconnect from real-world ecological crises is not simply that conventional environmental policies are incomplete, but that mainstream economics and conventional policies deflect attention from ecological imperialism behind veils of rhetoric, prices, and behaviors.</p>","PeriodicalId":47133,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Economics and Sociology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajes.12476","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45579273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
