Livre
Edité par Verso - 2022
"Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of colonialism, fossil-fueled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future is Degrowth argues that the ideology of growth conceals the rising inequalities and ecological destructions associated with capitalism"
Résumé de l'éditeur : Economic growth isn't working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of economic growth's emergence in the context of colonialism, fossil-fuelled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future Is Degrowth shows how the ideology of continual development promotes rising inequalities and ecological destruction, blinding us to more desirable alternatives. This book provides a vision for postcapitalism beyond growth, charting a path forward through policies that democratize the economy, 'now-topias' creating free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements making it possible to break with the logic of growth--back cover
