Tema
"
Are
economic growth and climate action compatible? Does it matter?”
Historically,
industrialization, capitalism, and affluence have contributed
to the emissions that are warming the planet’s atmosphere. As
humanity starts to grapple with the Herculean challenge of
climate change, should economic growth be abandoned to stand a
chance of success? Would this lead to a better society,
especially in already rich nations, freeing them from
pointless consumerism? The book takes these legitimate
concerns as a starting point to draw the reader on a journey
into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, historical and cultural
origins of the growth imperative. Growth is underpinned by the
human quest for happiness, wellbeing and self-determination,
and contributes to the stability of liberal democracy, the
peaceful conduct of politics and international relations, and
the very way our society is organized: capitalism. Ditching it
would not only prove impractical, but would also sow chaos,
exacerbating conflict within and between societies. Rather
than simply stating impossibilities, Growth for Good draws a
credible agenda to enroll capitalism in the fight to stave off
climate catastrophe. Shelving command-and-control solutions,
or the complete reliance on the market, Terzi details a plan
involving an activist government, proactive business, and
engaged citizens
