This book explains logically and explicitly three key ideas behind the"dilemma of economic growth": growth is unsustainable, de-growth is unstable, and decoupling won't work. It offers a variety of perspectives and frameworks to consider the path forward. Based on a study for the Sustainable Development Commission, an advisory body of the British government, this publication is a sign that some governments have started to discuss the idea of prosperity without growth.
