Economy completely dependent upon local environmental resources must have a greater incentive to preserve those resources than economies based on specialization and trade. Evidence from the past and prehistory, however, shows that many regionally based economies have misshapen because of environmental overexploitation. Evidence from the past shows that there is a strong relationship between environmental degradation, power, and social instability. There seems to be a complex and frequent pattern in early civilizations of expansion, a flourishing of culture and art, and then social dissolution and collapse as ruling elites short of the expansion of textile culture beyond the limits of the environment to support it. Recognizing the significance of the relationship between power, environmental sustainability, and social liability, it is essential in formulating ecologically sustainable trade policies.

Environmental sustainability, equity, power, sustainable trade, etc.
