We adopt a dialectic perspective of niche diffusion and discursive struggles in sustainability transitions. Analyzing newspaper articles and interviews, we reveal initial discursive struggles and the diversification into seven storylines across four contextual phases, shaped particularly by legislative frameworks and the energy crisis. Five storylines construct ECs as positive change, one as a negative force on society, and one as ambivalent. We discuss significant changes in how storylines construct ECs, focusing on justice and citizenship, the reconstruction of actor configurations, and emerging postapocalyptic storylines.

To this end, we will introduce the classic sociological concept of the spirit of capitalism to sustainability transition research and bring it into dialogue with the concept of economic alterity. Based on qualitative case studies of nine green entrepreneurs, we examine how sustainability motives and capitalist meaning structures are blended in the mindsets of the ecopreneurs. Overall, the economic mentalities of the green ecopreneurs we examined can be characterised as a “green spirit of capitalism”, in the sense of a positive interconnection between capitalist principles and environmental goals. While the ecopreneurs repeatedly broke with capitalist principles in specific situations – for example by sacrificing growth potential or competitive advantages in favour of positive environmental impact – in none of the case studies was the capitalist economic mentality surmounted in any substantial way. This is due to specific stabilisation mechanisms belonging to the capitalist spirit that consolidate the respondents’ economic mentalities in cases of conflict between environmental and economic goals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 100898"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142157652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
