In this exploratory chapter, I examine how the disciplines of forest economics, capital theory and ethics, insofar as they pertain to decisions taken over time, each provide a lens with which to view the other. More specifically, I read texts of Kant, Laslett, Bourdieu, Cowen-Parfitt and Mitra-Wan-Ray-Roy and attempt to place the general theory of inter-temporal resource allocation within a larger conversation on intergenerational justice taking place in political and sociological theory. I thereby seek to develop a vocabulary for exploring alternative possibilities for social, political and communal bonding by giving meaning to terms such as sustainability, efficiency and equity for the ‘optimal’allocation of common or environmental (measurable or non-measurable) resources over time.
