The Green Economics Institute
A ground-breaking new book
The Greening of The Mediterranean
Crisis and Recovery
"The healing and greening of the Mediterranean
economies cannot be restricted to environmental
protection or energy sustainability but it must be extended
to the four categories at the heart of green economics:
ecological, intellectual, political and moral." - Miriam
Kennet, 2006
Social tensions that have emerged in the markets have
been shifted to the political sphere. The failure of such
speculation is then paid for not by investors but by the
public. For ordinary people who often have no shares, nor
savings, this is a disaster all around the Mediterranean.
This book explores what has happened in many
Mediterranean countries and offers solutions to the
current crisis and a pathway for a successful recovery of
caring, sharing and supporting each other.

The Greening of The Mediterranean
Crisis and Recovery
Launching at our Green Economics Institute, Oxford University Conference
“To combat much of the current misery experienced by many people around the Mediterranean today as a result of
the crisis, as the Mediterranean peoples have suffered more than most, we celebrate the potential of the area, and critique the current, prevailing approaches to Economic and Environmental issues, which are focused on managerialist
perspectives of the so called “green growth” or “green capitalism,” rather our own original and novel perspective which
emphasizes conventional growth as the problem. We promote progressive thinking towards ecology and social justice. Pollution and resources depletion are explained as part of a much bigger emerging picture than simply mitigation or adaptation principles. We can no longer afford to simply maintain the outdated, unchanged, mainstream socio
and economic models. So, we introduce alternatives for economic and societal organisation which support a more
sustainable and balanced relationship with nature and we stress combating poverty as core to this achievement.” Miriam Kennet and Dr Enrico Tezza (Italy) 2014
