Abstract

The mere reivindication of sustainability makes evident the unsustainaibility of the economic regime and the civilization which was imposed to humankind some centuries ago. The author asks if whether sustainability is an incomplete solution, whereas it does not confront the core of the problem: a model of living, a civilization and an economic model that is unsustainable from its very gestation.
