Description
The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism A counter-history of economic growth and its impact on colonialism, industrialization, and capitalism, this book argues that the ideology of growth conceals rising inequalities and ecological destructions. It presents a vision for postcapitalism beyond growth, discussing policies that democratize the economy, create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements to break with the logic of growth. Degrowth perspectives offer a way to step off the treadmill of an alienating system. This book is a handbook and manifesto, providing a path forward through research and discussion of the politics of a non-growing economy. It provides a framework for understanding the need to break free from capitalism and presents alternatives to its ideology. For those interested in charting a new course beyond current crises, this book offers a comprehensive guide to degrowth and postcapitalism.
