by Graeme Maxton & Jorgen Randers, foreword by David Suzuki

tagged: environmental economics, sustainable development, environmental conservation & protection, developing countries
Description

A persuasive economic argument that proves we can all live better lives in this finite world.

 

 

In Reinventing Prosperity, Graeme Maxton and Jorgen Randers offer a new approach with thirteen recommendations that should be possible to implement around the world. This book addresses the forty-year-old growth/no-growth debate by explaining how it is possible to reduce unemployment, poverty, inequality, and the pace of climate change and still have economic growth—if we want.
