 * Critiques of ecological modernization: ** This literature critically examines ecological modernization theory, which holds that the processes of modernization (particularly technological innovation and market forces), when turned toward environmental ends, can solve or at least ameliorate environmental problems. Critiques generally follow Allan Schnaiberg’s “treadmill of production” model, in which capitalism necessarily increases production in response to increasing demand, resulting in further environmental degradation.

Note: These are also serving as reading lists for me! For the future! Other note: Now that this is posted, I'm realizing I might should just use "institutional ethnography" as a third literature. Maybe it'll soon be a fourth.
