- W3150835387 abstract "textabstractIn what could perhaps be referred to as the postmodernist mother offiction - the novel 'Haroun and the sea of stories' - SalmanRushdie at one point puts his main character Haroun in a mail coachdriven by a Mr Butt, on a rocky, windy, slippery road high up in themountains, trying to reach a certain point before sunset. Faster andfaster the bus goes, no longer stopping even to collect or deposit mail,frightening the passengers, but Mr Butt disregards their howls. ThenMr Butt sees another dangerous bit of road ahead and exclaims: 'Thesnow line! Icy patches ahead! Crumbling road surface! Hairpin bends!Danger of avalanches! ... ' and quite contrary to what Haroun had hoped,Mr Butt then turns his observations into a possibly fatal conclusion byshouting to himself: 'Full speed ahead' (Rushdie, p.36). I tell this story- which, incidentally, has a happy ending - because I regard MrButt's attitude as illustrative of the archetypical mainstream economist'sresponse to almost any problem he or she may be confronted.with: they are very likely to conclude their analysis by recommendingmore economic growth - to develop at full speed. In a context of tryingto contribute to sustainable development from a social science perspective,I think there is much more - if not much else - to say. We shouldlearn from the warning on the wall near the exit of the bus station whereHaroun read:If from speed (read: growth - JBO) you get your thrill,Take precaution - make your willThis inaugural address marks my passage from the domain of environmentaleconomics to the wider one of development studies, and thebridge between the two is called 'sustainable development'." @default.
