The relentless pursuit of economic growth is the defining characteristic of capitalist societies. However, it benefits only a few and demands enormous social and ecological sacrifices. Is there a viable alternative? How can we stop the endless quest for growth in global production and consumption and instead secure socio-ecological conditions that enable a livable life for all? Leading degrowth experts Giorgos Kallis, Susan Paulson, Giacomo D’Alisa, and Federico Demaria advocate for a good life that requires less consumption by living differently and prioritizing justice and sustainability. The authors draw on new initiatives and proven traditions from around the world to develop a radical degrowth vision. They outline measures for shaping work and care, income and investments, that exclude exploitative and unsustainable practices. Degrowth can be achieved through transformative strategies that allow society to consciously slow its pace of development without being forced to do so by disasters. With a foreword by Frank Adloff.
