Parallax of Growth explores the ideas of economy and ecology and
the factors that have put them on a collision course. Bjerg argues
that our current mode of economic organization is characterized by
an inherent 'debt drive', whereby the creation of money through the
issuance of commercial bank credit has locked our economy into a
vicious circle of forced growth and increasing debt. Parallax of
Growth is not a catalogue of solutions to the ecological or the
economic crisis. The book aims to shift the inquiry from 'what
shall we do?' to 'why have we not already done it?' In order to
address the challenges of our contemporary times of crisis, we need
to understand how the idea of growth is deeply ingrained in the
ideology as well as the organization of our society. The book aims
to open the space for philosophical thinking about this important
issue.
