How can humanity navigate the environmental crisis beyond the pursuit of economic growth? Drawing on diverse philosophical and political traditions and from ecological economics to environmental social sciences, this book offers a bold alternative: relational degrowth, which recognises people, communities, and nature as fundamentally interconnected.
Through conceptual analysis and real-world examples, the book explores how to reshape economic and cultural systems and demonstrates why emphasis on relations is critical for the degrowth movement. It provides theoretical foundations and practical applications for scholars and activists enacting alternatives to growth-dependent societies.
