This downturn coincided with growing inequality and social exclusion. Rising political dissatisfaction with ruling elites fuelled the rise of populism. Add to this the alarming environmental emergency, and few can deny we live in a time of multiple sustainability crises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this conclusion can lead to despair, in this broad-ranging book, Raphael Kaplinsky, a leading development policy analyst, argues that the future is not necessarily bleak. Interrogating the causes and nature of the systemic crises we are living through, he shows how the challenges which we now face mirror previous historical epochs, in which dominant ‘techno-economic’ paradigms flourish, mature, and run into crisis. In each case, decisive action is required to move to a more economically and socially sustainable world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our time, we are witnessing the exhaustion of the Mass Production paradigm. How we herald and manage the transition to the next paradigm – that of Information and Communications Technologies – will determine our capacity to build a more prosperous, equitable, and environmentally sustainable world. \u003cem\u003eSustainable Futures\u003c\/em\u003e sets out an integrated agenda for action by multiple stakeholders to achieve this end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47363005055212,"sku":"9781509547838","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509547838.jpg?v=1772911165"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/raphael-kaplinsky.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
