Ole Bjerg is Associate Professor at the Copenhagen Business School. He is author of several books, including Making Money: The Philosophy of Crisis Capitalism and Poker: The Parody of Capitalism.
"Ole Bjerg takes a fresh look at capitalism�s existential
ecological crisis from beyond the usual perspectives of growth,
de-growth and green growth. He argues that, before we can change
our orientation towards growth, we need to understand why we have
not changed it already. Bjerg�s philosophical therapy
eco-analysis might just be what equips us with the thinking to be
able to act."
Tony Greenham, Director of Economy, Enterprise and Manufacturing,

"In this fascinating philosophical reflection, Ole Bjerg draws on
the ideas of Slavoj iek to show that, in spite of the public
opposition between ecological and economic approaches to well-being
and the environment, they are in fact mutually constitutive
paradigms that shape contemporary ideology and the social reality
of nature. This argument casts a new light on issues of growth,
justice and sustainability and will be of considerable interest to
a wide readership both within and beyond the academy."
Arjun Appadurai, New York University
