Prosperous Descent by Samuel Alexander
Argues that industrial society faces inevitable energy and ecological limits and that rather than clinging to growth we should proactively plan a just, low‑energy transition: relocalizing economies, reducing material consumption, strengthening community resilience and democratic decision‑making, and redefining prosperity in terms of wellbeing and sufficiency rather than GDP. The book combines analysis of systemic risks with practical pathways and cultural shifts to help societies navigate a deliberate, equitable descent from growth toward more sustainable and convivial ways of living.
