Abstract

This essay, starting from Georgescu-Roegen’s criticism to the concept of utility and the theory of the behaviour of the consumer, points out not only the shortcomings of the mainstream of economics in representing the economic phenomenon but also the possible responsibilities in the current global crisis. Furthermore, this work stresses the alternative approaches proposed by Georgescu- Roegen, from the directional choice theory to the hierarchy of needs, from the recourse to the law of entropy in the study of the production process and in the formation of the economic value to the theory of production based on the flow-fund model, from the integration of the environment in the economic phenomenon to the identification of the “enjoyment of life” as the ultimate goal of economics. In conclusion, this essay suggests a few considerations on the many current worldwide difficulties, that it is to be hoped the application of the bioeconomics approach.
