At the time of the establishment of ecological
economics, these ideas and beliefs were not commonly
shared inside the research community—as they
still are not, although a wider acceptance has been
achieved. As already mentioned, the disciplines of
ecology and economics tended to marginalize the basic perspective of ecological economics, and they
were neither transdisciplinary nor pluralistic. Ecologists
were typically aware of the seriousness of
environmental problems, whereas mainstream economists
tended to be far more optimistic and to believe
in market mechanisms and technical change to solve
any problems that may arise. Furthermore, economic
growth was seen as necessary to provide the resources
for combating pollution. Economists were generally
not interested in cooperation with environmental
scientists and criticized them for not being aware of
the need to make priorities.
