Earth overshoot will end either by design or by disaster. Which
future should we choose? Earth is in overshoot. The cumulative
impact of 8 billion humans combined with the relentless pursuit of
economic growth in the name of "progress" has stressed the planet
beyond its limits. We must act now. Surveying economic alternatives
and charting plausible paths forward for a planned economic
contraction, Escape from Overshoot covers a wide terrain,
including: An overview of Earth overshoot and prevailing trends and
implications for humans and biodiversity A concise review of
economic ideas including neoclassical, Keynesian, Marxist,
ecological economics, and steady state economics with an eye to the
current crisis An analysis of the limitations and possibilities of
alternative scenarios such as green growth, doughnut economics,
regenerative economics, degrowth, and more Prioritizing
intergenerational justice through a contraction and convergence
ethical framework The results of modeling of Canada's economy under
different scenarios and the prospects for managed degrowth across
industrialized economics as an escape route from overshoot.
Incorporating over 150 informative diagrams and illustrations, this
compelling and provocative work is required reading for students
and professionals grappling with specific manifestations of
overshoot including climate change, biodiversity loss, food and
freshwater shortages. It's also essential for all people concerned
about the deteriorating state of societies and the environment and
seeking an equitable way out.
