The Case For Degrowth by Giorgos Kallis
A Call for Radical Change in the Face of Environmental and Social Crisis
In this thought-provoking work, the authors argue for a radical rethinking of economic growth, challenging the conventional belief that continuous expansion is necessary for societal well-being. They propose "degrowth" as a viable alternative, emphasizing the need to prioritize ecological sustainability, social equity, and human flourishing over mere GDP increases. The book explores how degrowth can lead to a more just and resilient society by reducing consumption, redistributing wealth, and fostering community-oriented values. Through a blend of theoretical insights and practical examples, the authors present a compelling case for reimagining progress in a way that respects planetary boundaries and enhances quality of life for all.
