Description
Giorgos Kallis reclaims and redefines the concept of limits in this thought-provoking exploration of environmentalism. By separating limits and scarcity, he challenges the notion that these are fixed properties of nature.
The author takes us on a journey from ancient Greece to the present day, tracing how an institutionalized culture of sharing can enable collective self-limitation. This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between economics, philosophy, and environmentalism.
