The Future is Degrowth

This book critiques the conventional belief in economic growth, arguing that it is unsustainable and contributes to rising inequalities and environmental degradation. It traces the origins of growth ideology to colonialism and industrialisation, highlighting its detrimental effects on society. The authors challenge the idea that growth can be reconciled with a sustainable future and present alternatives to capitalist frameworks. They advocate for a vision of postcapitalism that prioritises well-being over growth, drawing on extensive research to propose practical paths towards a more equitable and ecologically sound society.
