Post-growth Economics and Society (eBook, PDF)

Exploring the Paths of a Social and Ecological Transition
Redaktion: Cassiers, Isabelle; Méda, Dominique; Maréchal, Kevin

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book identifies several areas in which we must fundamentally rethink our societal organisation. They ask what it means to abandon the objective of economic growth; how we can encourage the emergence of other visions to guide society; how global visions and local transition initiatives should be connected; which modes of governance should be associated with the required social and technological innovations. The topics addressed over the chapters range from the future of work to the de-commodification of economic relations; the search for new indicators of progress to decentralized modes of governance; and from the circular economy to polycentric transitions.
