It aims to address climate change and biodiversity loss by questioning the current system and discussing the ineffectiveness of false solutions. The book explores what living in a degrowth society would entail and the policies needed to support it, concluding by examining the opportunities and challenges for a successful transition to a sustainable steady-state economy.

Degrowth is a deliberate economic contraction implemented in affluent countries to attain sustainable levels of production and consumption, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and alleviating pressures on global ecosystems. This comprehensive exploration delves into the concept of degrowth as an alternative economic framework, aimed at fostering a more sustainable and equitable future.
The text commences by raising critical inquiries about our prevailing system and identifying its inherent limitations. It also discusses the inadequacies of purported solutions that purport to offer novel approaches but ultimately perpetuate the status quo. Subsequently, the concept of degrowth is thoroughly introduced, encompassing its core principles, objectives, and significant critiques. The book delves into the implications of living in a degrowth society and explores the necessary policies to facilitate this transition. Finally, the work concludes by examining the prospects and challenges associated with degrowth and the viability of achieving a sustainable and stable steady-state economy.
This book serves as an advanced introduction to the environmental concerns surrounding degrowth for students, scholars, and activists engaged in exploring economic alternatives, sustainability, and environmental stewardship.
