This article presents theoretical
and methodological assumptions that are
relevant for the interpretation of the interactions between mining and regional development. It refutes the hypothesis of market mechanisms driving away the irreversibility of entropic processes, defended by the natural resources economy of neoclassical inspiration. The notion
that the entropic degradation, from a social point of view, is inexorably negative – as proposed by the ecologic economy – is also refuted. Approaches of interpretation of the capitalist society as a system far away from balance are indicated as analytical alternatives. The author
proposes that social repercussions of entropic degradation resulting from mining activities are connected to the interaction model between technical competence, historical, social, cultural
and political features, and natural specialties
and potentialities of a given social formation. |
