Die wachstumsgeleitete ‚Entwicklung‘, die derzeit trotz verheerender ökologischer und sozialer Konsequenzen verfolgt wird, ist abhängig von ökologischer Ungleichheit. Als ökologisch ungleicher Tausch erlaubt der Außenhandel die Ausdehnung des ökologischen Handlungsspielraums einiger weniger, während er für viele andere deren Einengung bedeutet. Das erst ermöglicht weiteres globales Wachstum und verschärft dabei gleichzeitig bestehende Ungleichheiten und asymmetrische Machtverhältnisse.
