Description

The relentless pursuit of economic growth has become a defining characteristic of contemporary societies. However, this relentless drive comes at a significant cost to individuals and the planet. In this thought-provoking book, leading experts present a compelling case for degrowth - living well with less by adopting a different approach to wellbeing, equity, and sustainability. Drawing on emerging initiatives and enduring traditions from around the world, they outline transformative strategies that can help societies slow down without succumbing to disaster. This book offers a radical vision for degrowth and provides practical policies for shaping work, care, income, and investment in ways that avoid exploitation and unsustainability. A timely contribution to one of the most pressing debates of our era, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with creating a more equitable and sustainable future.
