The juggernaut of economic growth rolls on, consuming the biosphere, breaking planetary boundaries, and stretching inequality and injustice to the breaking point. But does it really need to be this way? And if not, what are the options?</p><p>In <em>Escape from Overshoot</em>, celebrated ecological economist Peter A. Victor takes us on a grand tour of the overshoot crisis. From the history of economic thought through energy and material blindness, we learn how we got here and why collapse is inevitable unless we change course. But as the clock ticks, what pathways are possible <em>and</em> plausible? Victor surveys the alternatives from green growth and doughnut economics to well-being, steady-state, and post-growth economics and their limits. He then dives into what the latest and most sophisticated economic modelling tells us about whether we can intentionally shrink our economy and avoid collapse, all while enhancing human thriving and justice for all.

Which future should we choose?</strong></p><p>Earth is in overshoot. The cumulative impact of 8 billion humans combined with the relentless pursuit of economic growth in the name of "progress" has stressed the planet beyond its limits. We must act now.</p><p>Surveying economic alternatives and charting plausible paths forward for a planned economic contraction, <em>Escape from Overshoot</em> covers a wide terrain, including:</p><ul><li>An overview of Earth overshoot and prevailing trends and implications for humans and biodiversity</li><li>A concise review of economic ideas including neoclassical, Keynesian, Marxist, ecological economics, and steady state economics with an eye to the current crisis</li><li>An analysis of the limitations and possibilities of alternative scenarios such as green growth, doughnut economics, regenerative economics, degrowth, and more</li><li>Prioritizing intergenerational justice through a contraction and convergence ethical framework</li><li>The results of modeling of Canadas economy under different scenarios and the prospects for managed degrowth across industrialized economics as an escape route from overshoot.</li></ul><p>Incorporating over 150 informative diagrams and illustrations, this compelling and provocative work is required reading for students and professionals grappling with specific manifestations of overshoot including climate change, biodiversity loss, food and freshwater shortages. Its also essential for all people concerned about the deteriorating state of societies and the environment and seeking an equitable way out.</p>...(*_*)9781771423656_<p><em>An excellent primer on key insights and questions in ecological economics from a celebrated pioneer of the field.</em><br /><strong>Jason Hickel, author, <em>Less is More</em></strong></p><p>Earth is in overshoot.
