Excellent- More about De Gruyter Handbook of Degrowth
Degrowth is a research field that critiques existing growth-based models of development and proposes a vision for a brighter future in which humans and non-humans can flourish. This handbook explores degrowth as a set of interdisciplinary propositions about achieving a world of human and non-human flourishing, considering it from various empirical and theoretical perspectives. The goal is to preserve the sense of possibility that has drawn people to degrowth scholarship while challenging and critiquing its ideas.

Degrowth has emerged as a highly intriguing and contentious area of study, delving into the underlying factors contributing to global heating, ecological collapse, and economic inequality. This perspective serves as both a critique of prevailing growth-oriented models of development, which it contends have led humanity towards an inevitable collision with ecological boundaries, and a vision for a more promising future where both humans and non-humans can thrive harmoniously. By abandoning the pursuit of endless economic growth and unbridled energetic and material consumption, degrowth advocates propose the establishment of an economy that can sustainably meet the material needs of present and future generations.
This handbook's contributions underscore the significance of degrowth across various disciplines and practices. Throughout its pages, contributors engage in thoughtful discussions and address some of the most pressing questions, ideological assumptions, policies, and social challenges of our time.
The handbook approaches degrowth as a loosely interconnected and evolving set of interdisciplinary propositions aimed at achieving a world where human and non-human flourishing coexist. Contributors delve into, question, and evaluate degrowth's ideas and potential to shape scholarly agendas, policy frameworks, and social movements. Essays explore degrowth from diverse empirical and theoretical perspectives, including urban design, architecture, political economy, political ecology, critical geography, and political theory. This integrative approach, characterized by a critical yet constructive spirit, seeks to preserve for readers the sense of possibility that has fueled the growth of degrowth scholarship to date.
