Our current economic systems have become addicted to growth at all
costs, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). They assume
that GDP growth is synonymous with increased wellbeing and
prosperity. However, this approach has led to growing inequality,
an escalating climate crisis, and the depletion of natural and
social capital. Our approach to economics and development needs to
be fundamentally transformed. New Challenges for Future
Sustainability and Wellbeing is a collection of 25 studies about
sustainability and the related challenges, such as income, wealth,
social aspects, the environment, education and regional equality
that influence the pace of economic development and deteriorates
well-being of people and organisations all over the world. This
book provides a platform for scholars, researchers and
professionals from different disciplinary backgrounds to discuss,
highlight and exchange ideas on these challenges and prospects for
both economic and business development.
