SLOW DOWN OR DIE

One of the most deeply ingrained beliefs of our age is that perpetual economic growth is the solution to most if not all of society s problems In Slow Down or Die French economist Timothée Parrique brilliantly challenges this myth demonstrating how producing more won t solve climate change poverty or inequality In fact our obsession with growth is accelerating social and ecological collapse Parrique proposes a different vision a post growth economy where we look beyond the vagaries of GDP and measure our economies through how well we provide for each other Instead of infinitely accumulating wealth our goal must be a just equitable and sustainable society Accessible and inspiring Slow Down or Die is a radical call to embrace a future of shared prosperity where slowing down is the key to a better sustainable future
