´A clear vision for a profoundly different economy´ Irish Times
One of the most deeply ingrained beliefs of our age is that perpetual economic growth is the solution to most, if not all, of society´s problems. In Slow Down or Die, French economist Timothée Parrique brilliantly challenges this myth, demonstrating how producing more won´t solve climate change, poverty, or inequality. In fact, our obsession with growth is accelerating social and ecological collapse.
Parrique proposes a different vision - a "post-growth" economy, where we look beyond the vagaries of GDP and measure our economies through how well we provide for each other. Instead of infinitely accumulating wealth, our goal must be a just, equitable, and sustainable society. Accessible and inspiring, Slow Down or Die is a radical call to embrace a future of shared prosperity, where slowing down is the key to a better, sustainable future.
