Another
mainly American based association, the Association
For Evolutionary Economics (AFEE), which publishes
the Journal of Economic Issues, has also taken
some interest in the environment. The association
organizes the heirs of American institutional economics,
and part of this group are real technological
utopians who think that technology will solve all
problems, whereas the other part share the basic ideas
of ecological economics, for instance represented by
Jim Swaney (Gowdy, personal communication).
