Slowdown by Danny Dorling
The End of the Great Acceleration—and Why It's Good for the Planet, the Economy, and Our Lives
The book explores the concept that global progress, in terms of economic growth, technological advancement, and population increase, is decelerating. It argues that this slowdown is not necessarily negative but rather an opportunity to address pressing issues like inequality and environmental degradation. By examining historical trends and current data, the author suggests that a more sustainable and equitable future can be achieved through this deceleration, encouraging a shift in focus from relentless growth to improving quality of life and well-being.
