In The Critique of Commodification, Christoph Hermann argues that commodification entails production for profit rather than provision for need. The focus on profits, Hermann shows, means that social needs are met in a way that excludes those who cannot pay and ensures high profits. In going through the damaging effects of commodification, Hermann also discusses alternatives based on the satisfaction of needs rather than maximization of profits.

How can we design innovative food experiences that enhance food pleasure and consumer well-being? Through a wide variety of empirical, methodological, and theoretical contributions, which examine the art of designing innovative food experiences, this edited book explores the relationship between design thinking, food experience, and food well-being. While many aspects of food innovation are focused on products' features, in this book, design thinking follows an experiential perspective to create a new food innovation design logic that integrates two aspects: consumer food well-being and the experiential pleasure of food. It integrates a holistic perspective to understand how designing innovative food experiences, instead of food products, can promote healthy and pleasurable eating behaviors among consumers and help them achieve their food well-being. Invaluable for scholars, food industry professionals, design thinkers, students, and amateurs alike, this book will define the field of food innovation for years to come. .

"Fabriquer de toutes pièces des micro-organismes n'ayant jamais existé pour leur faire produire de l'essence, du plastique, ou absorber des marées noires ; donner un prix à la pollinisation, à la beauté d'un paysage ou à la séquestration du carbone par les forêts en espérant que les mécanismes de marché permettront de les protéger ; transformer l'information génétique de tous les êtres vivants en ressources productives et marchandes... Telles sont quelques-unes des "solutions" envisagées aujourd'hui sous la bannière de la transition écologique, du Pacte vert européen ou du Green New Deal pour répondre tout à la fois à la crise climatique, au déclin de la biodiversité et à la dégradation de la biosphère. Sont-elles vraiment en mesure de préserver la planète ? En disséquant les ressorts idéologiques, techniques et économiques de ce nouveau régime de "croissance verte", Hélène Tordjman montre que ses promoteurs s'attachent plutôt à sauvegarder le modèle industriel qui est la cause de la catastrophe en cours. Alors que de nouvelles générations de carburants "biosourcés" intensifient une logique extractiviste et contre-productive et que l'élargissement du droit de la propriété intellectuelle à toutes les sphères du vivant permet à quelques firmes de s'approprier l'ensemble de la chaîne alimentaire, l'attribution de prix aux "services écosystémiques", le développement de dispositifs de compensation écologique ou les illusions d'une finance prétendument verte stimulent un processus aveugle de marchandisation de la nature. Loin d'opérer la rupture nécessaire avec le système économique qui nous conduit à la ruine, ce mouvement témoigne en réalité d'une volonté de maîtrise et d'instrumentalisation de toutes les formes de vie sur Terre et d'une foi inébranlable dans les mécanismes de marché. Refuser cette fuite en avant est le premier pas à engager pour tracer enfin une autre voie."

The authors provide a broad overview of economic aspects of commodity taxation, focussing in particular on theory and on policy applications in OECD countries. Some major papers in public economics have discussed whether these taxes should be levied at a uniform rate, or whether different commodities should be taxed differently, for reasons of either equity or efficiency. The authors begin with this question, and then discuss further issues, including the economic incidence of commodity taxes, the properties of the VAT, the taxation of financial services, the international aspects of commodity taxation, and environmental and health policy aspects.
