The Future Is Degrowth

"The Future Is Degrowth" challenges the idea that economic growth is essential for societal progress, tracing its origins in colonialism and industrialization while highlighting the environmental and social costs of continual expansion. The book argues that growth conceals inequalities and ecological harm and explores alternative visions for a postcapitalist future rooted in democratized economies and experimental policies. It advocates for breaking free from growth-driven paradigms and embracing degrowth perspectives as a means to create more equitable and sustainable ways of living.
