Recently, Kleidon suggested a restatement of the Gaia hypothesis based on Maximum Entropy approaches to the Earth system. Refuting conceptions of Gaia as a homeostatic system, Gaia is seen as a non-equilibrium thermodynamic system which continuously moves away from equilibrium, driven by maximum...

The common approach to integrating thermodynamics and economics is subsuming thermodynamic aspects among the set of constraints under which economic activity takes place. The causal link between energy and growth is investigated via aggregate econometric analysis. This paper discusses...

This paper submits the case for establishing ‘technosphere science' as an independent scientific discipline that draws on results of many other disciplines, reaching from physics to the humanities, with economics as a major contributing discipline. My argument is ontological, that is I posit...

This essay summarizes some essential aspects of my recent contributions to ecological and evolutionary economics, in a way accessible to a general readership. I concentrate on the relationship between energy and growth, and its grounding in evolutionary and information theory. In the final...
