Thrive - Engelstalige editie

While the world speculates about its post-pandemic state within the traditional economic narrative, unprecedented ecological and social damage prove the current neoclassical economic model to be untenable.

Wahl, share the alternatives that are available to us, such as doughnut economics, wellbeing economics, common good economics, regenerative economics, buddhist economics, commons economics, local economics, bioregional economics, indigenous economics and degrowth economics. Each of these approaches provides a realistic and enticing vision of a thriving future. Thrive offers readers the fundamentals for a new economy that is rooted in the well-being of humanity and of our planet. This book is a must-read for anyone in search of economic perspectives that contribute to a flourishing world.
