Degrowth

If our words are not enough to say what needs to be said, it is time for new terms. A growing number of scientists and activists around the world are critically questioning the dominant economic model and countering the lack of alternatives proclaimed by politics and business with new concepts that are shaping the post-growth debate. Under the heading of “degrowth”, this book brings together introductory articles on “autonomy”, “commons”, “peak oil” and “buen vivir”, rediscovers old values such as “simplicity” and makes a plea for “work-sharing” or “job guarantees”.

The “Degrowth Handbook” is the ultimate resource for those who not only believe in social and economic change, but are in the process of creating it. An easy-to-understand handbook that gets to the heart of the most important concepts of this new era.

The book is also available as an e-book.
