We stand on the threshold of a "post-growth" world - one in which
the relentless pursuit of economic growth has ceased to constitute
a credible societal project. The symptoms that mark the end of an
era are clear and incontrovertible: a return to the regularities of
the past is illusory. The pursuit of economic growth no longer
constitutes a credible societal project for ecological, social, and
geopolitical reasons. Edited by an impressive array of experts,
this book identifies several areas in which we must fundamentally
rethink our societal organisation. They ask what it means to
abandon the objective of economic growth; how we can encourage the
emergence of other visions to guide society; how global visions and
local transition initiatives should be connected; which modes of
governance should be associated with the required social and
technological innovations. Alongside the necessary respect of
ecological limits and equity in distribution, the promotion of
autonomy (involving all in the building of socio-political norms)
could serve for guidance. The topics addressed over the chapters
range from the future of work to the de-commodification of economic
relations; the search for new indicators of progress to
decentralized modes of governance; and from the circular economy to
polycentric transitions. Each contribution brings a unique
perspective, a piece of a larger puzzle to be assembled.
Post-growth Economics and Society is an important volume to those
who study ecological economics, political economy and the
environment and society. It invites theorists as much as
practitioners to re-explore the roots of our societal goals and
play an active role in the systemic shift to come.
