New book argues that only a radically-changed economic system can provide affordable, equitable and sustainable growth
Bankrupting Nature, Denying Our Planetary Boundaries by Anders Wijkman and Johan Rockström
In this ‘Report to the Club of Rome’ Anders Wijkman and Johan Rockström outline the planetary boundaries which will prevent the earthfrom supporting the current growth model and could destroy the entire global support system.
At the same time authors show how it would be possible to reinvent growth that is affordable, equitable and sustainable, based on a radically-changed economic model, provided that there is the political will to carry it out.
