There are no direct economic viewpoints, but intensive forestry (overcutting, plantations) is criticized indirectly. While this period is admittedly the "golden age" of forestry, it increases pressure on hunters and reduces the wolf's food base. This highlights the concern that short-term economic gain (forestry) creates long-term ecological and social conflicts.
