It was around 1970 when the environmental problem became an object of public concern. Since then, many economists have tried to apply their principles to the problem and "environmental economics" has become a new field of economics. But the problem has become serious and now "the global environmental problems" are threatening the global ecology with destruction. We should ask whether economics has appropriate conceptual system to understand the relationship between nature and human beings, and to create a new economic paradigm. It seems that in Marxian Economics we need to reexamine the whole work of Karl Marx from the newer point of view, and to reorganize the system of "Critique of Political Economy" in order to be able to solve the contemporary environmental problem fundamentally.
