______________________'A powerfully disruptive book for disrupted times ... KATE RAWORTH, economist and author of Doughnut EconomicsFeatured in FT Best Books of the Year 2020______________________The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Capitalism demands perpetual expansion, which is devastating the living world. But what does such a society look like? What about jobs? What about health? What about progress? This book tackles these questions and traces a clear pathway to a post-capitalist economy. An economy that's more just, more caring, and more fun. An economy that enables human flourishing while reversing ecological breakdown. An economy that will not only lift us out of our current crisis, but restore our sense of connection to a world that's brimming with life. ______________________'A masterpiece...
