How we can achieve healthy growth--more regenerative than destructive,
restoring equity rather than exacerbating inequalities.
In Tomorrow's Economy, Per Espen Stoknes reframes the hot-button issue
of economic growth. Going beyond the usual dialectic of pro-growth
versus anti-growth, Stoknes calls for healthy growth. Healthy economic
growth is more regenerative than destructive, repairs problems rather
than greenwashing them, and restores equity rather than exacerbating
global inequalities. Stoknes--a psychologist, economist, climate
strategy researcher, and green-tech entrepreneur--argues that we have
the tools to achieve healthy growth, but our success depends on
transformations in government practices and individual behavior. Stoknes
provides a compass to guide us toward the mindset, mechanisms, and
possibilities of healthy growth.
