This book presents a detailed and critical discussion about how
human wellbeing can be maintained and improved in a postgrowth era.
It highlights the close links between economic growth, market
capitalism, and the welfare state demonstrating that, in many ways,
wellbeing outcomes currently depend on the growth paradigm. Here
the authors argue that notions of basic human needs deserve greater
emphasis in debates on postgrowth because they are more compatible
with limits to growth. Drawing on theories of social practices, the
book explores structural barriers to transitions to a postgrowth
society, and ends with suggestions for policies and institutions
that could support wellbeing in the context of postgrowth. This
thought-provoking work makes a valuable contribution to debates
surrounding climate change, sustainability, welfare states and
inequality and will appeal to students and scholars of social
policy, sociology, political science, economics, political ecology
and human geography.
