Description
In Tomorrow's Economy, Per Espen Stoknes reframes the hot-button issue of economic growth. Going beyond the usual dialectic of pro-growth versus anti-growth, Stoknes calls for healthy growth. Healthy economic growth is more regenerative than destructive, repairs problems rather than greenwashing them, and restores equity rather than exacerbating global inequalities. Stoknes--a psychologist, economist, climate strategy researcher, and green-tech entrepreneur--argues that we have the tools to achieve healthy growth, but our success depends on transformations in government practices and individual behavior. Stoknes provides a compass to guide us toward the mindset, mechanisms, and possibilities of healthy growth.
Advance Praise
“Too often growth supporters and anti-growthers come to loggerheads, neglecting the crucial issue of what kind of economic growth we're creating. Stoknes's growth compass is a crucial tool to guide us toward a finer future.”
Hunter Lovinscoauthor of Natural Capitalism
“Per Espen Stoknes makes a compelling case for the need to change our minds as much as our systems—and to open both to the possibility of healthy growth. His view as a psychologist versed in economics is refreshing.”
Jane Gleeson-Whiteauthor of Six Capitals and Double Entry
“Rising to the central challenge of our century, Stoknes brings welcome order to the chaos around the concept of green growth, charting a course for economic value creation while simultaneously reducing our ecological footprint. He makes it clear that meeting this challenge does not require us to stop economic growth.”
Jørgen Randersauthor of 2052: A Global Forecast for the Next Forty Years and coauthor of The Limits to Growth
