Omniconomics shows how we can make human society intrinsically
sustainable, harmonically embedded in nature, with the help of a
completely new approach in which traditional economics is
transformed. Citing the fallacies of existing economic approaches
as directly responsible for many of the environmental and social
threats faced by society today, Niko Roorda presents a new,
interdisciplinary science: omniconomics. This framework has its
foundations in an innovative, joined-up approach, in which all
aspects of the natural and social sciences are inextricably linked.
It will better allow for new solutions to tackling urgent issues,
including climate change, deforestation, environmental and economic
inequality, dehumanization, and crumbling social cohesion.
Inspiring new thinking, this book aims to: Inspire a public,
scientific and political debate about the role of present-day
economics, its status as no more than a protoscience, and the
consequences for (inter)national policies and developments
Stimulate independent, out-of-the-box thinking of students,
graduates, politicians, leaders of society, and any member of the
public who worries about the major present-day problems and the
future Stimulate interdisciplinary research within universities
towards the creation of an omniconomic science that will replace
the discipline of economics and will become a genuine, mature
science Challenge the readers to go beyond short- or middle-to-long
term solutions such as the Sustainable Development Goals and
circular economy: Omniconomics starts where Doughnut economics ends
Encouraging the reader to rethink accepted economic approaches to
deal with the present-day threats of global catastrophes, this book
will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainable
development, sustainability economics and policies, as well as any
practitioners working in related fields.
