Abstract

An episode of special importance in the recent history of ecological economics is the convergence between Roegenians and Odumites. Regarding the process of disciplinary speciation of ecological economics, Herman Daly and Robert Costanza stand out, the former as a conspicuous representative of the Georgescu-Roegen school, the latter as a member of the Howard Odum school. Undoubtedly, the alliance between Roegenians and Odumites was decisive in the emergence of ecological economics and in its subsequent institutionalization. In this chapter I will review some of the most significant polemics with neoclassical economists in which the Roegenians, i.e., Georgescu-Roegen and Herman Daly, were involved. In this regard, I will study several cases of conflict between the entropic style and the neoclassical style, whose diatribes often ended in communicative breakdown.
