The juggernaut of economic growth rolls on, consuming the biosphere, breaking planetary boundaries, and stretching inequality and injustice to the breaking point. But does it really need to be this way? And if not, what are the options?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eEscape from Overshoot\u003c\/em\u003e, celebrated ecological economist Peter A. Victor takes us on a grand tour of the overshoot crisis. From the history of economic thought through energy and material blindness, we learn how we got here and why collapse is inevitable unless we change course. But as the clock ticks, what pathways are possible and plausible?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVictor surveys the alternatives—from green growth and doughnut economics to well-being, steady-state, and post-growth economics—and their limits. He then dives into what the latest and most sophisticated economic modelling tells us about whether we can intentionally shrink our economy and avoid collapse, all while enhancing human thriving and justice for all. The results are both surprising and profound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmbitious, measured, and accessible, \u003cem\u003eEscape from Overshoot\u003c\/em\u003e is a vividly illustrated guide to the past, present, and future of the human economic project and our place on planet Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854503596268,"sku":"9780865719750","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/55959e5e2478b2c546f494b4abb06d07.jpg?v=1759269467"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/peter-a-victor.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
