520 |a Economic growth isn't working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of economic growth's emergence in the context of colonialism, fossil-fuelled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future Is Degrowth shows how the ideology of continual development promotes rising inequalities and ecological destruction, blinding us to more desirable alternatives.
