Stimulating growth through adjusting macroeconomic conditions
remains the principal policy responses to pressing problems of
unemployment, poverty and environmental degradation. However, are
the current policy approaches capable of tackling these problems by
generating win-win solutions or are they the root causes of these
problems? The current growth trajectory has neither lead to a
reduction of our overall resource use - as we use resources and
energy more efficiently we consume more - nor create the conditions
for employment and well-being. Increasingly, there is the
realization that it is necessary to make substantial interventions
into our national economies and create better framework conditions
and incentive systems in order to more widely and rapidly develop
and disseminate workable, innovative solutions for realizing
sustainable development. This is the task of politics, and the
concrete design of the measures must be built upon a broad public
debate and shared long-term visions. The authors of this book
intend to trigger a dialogue among stakeholders about how we can
shape this transformation process towards sustainability. Following
a detailed presentation of the key arguments for reconsidering the
necessary conditions for sustainable economies, an international
cast of commentators from politics, administration, civil society,
business and science engage with the central question: is there an
alternative trajectory for Western economies that sustains
wellbeing whilst confronting ecological and social breakdown?
