March 2011 issue for your consideration:
Mother Pelican - A Journal of Sustainable Human Development
http://www.pelicanweb.org/solisustv07n03page1.html
This issue is focused on the transition from nonrenewable to renewable
sources of energy, which is contingent on human adaptation from the
economic mindset to the ecological mindset, i.e., the transition from
"homo economicus" to "homo ecologicus."
The central concept is to mitigate the human propensity to consume and
activate the human capacity to adapt. This concept is being articulated
in terms of positive and negative feedback loops of economic incentives
using the system dynamics method. See this:
