Degrowth is a multifaceted phenomenon that encompasses various practices and initiatives in civil society, business, and the state. While there is no comprehensive theory of degrowth transformations, Deep Transformations aims to fill this gap by developing a holistic perspective that explores transformation processes on different scales and identifies mechanisms that can facilitate degrowth. The book draws on insights from political economy, sociology, and philosophy and offers a range of examples, including ecosocial policies, transformative initiatives in business and civil society, and alternative modes of being in and relating to the world.
