Abstract

This paper discusses the main criticisms and alternative proposals advanced by several
scholars regarding the market economy-based development model. The literature review highlights a
significant and growing awareness of environmental issues and strong criticism of the current economic
development model, which does not account for limited natural resources and Earthโ€™s capacity for
additional pollutants.

Key words

Sustainability, Bio economy, Circular economy.
