This book explores the reason why endless growth economy is fundamentally unsustainable and considers ways in which society can move beyond this to a steady state economy. It brings together some of the deepest thinkers from around the world to consider how to advance beyond growth. Its themes consider the deep problems of the current system and key aspects of a steady state economy, such as population; throughput and consumerism; ethics and equity; and policy for change. The conclusion brings together the various themes and indicates how we can move past the growth economy to a truly sustainable future.
There is a fundamental denial at the centre of why we have an environmental crisis – a denial that ignores that endless physical growth on a finite planet is impossible. Nature provides the ecosystem services that support our civilisation, thus making humanity unavoidably dependent upon it. However, society continues to ignore and deny this dependence.
