Economic growth isn't working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of economic growth's emergence in the context of colonialism, fossil-fuelled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, *The Future is Degrowth* shows how the ideology of continual development promotes rising inequalities and ecological destruction, blinding us to more desirable alternatives. The book provides a vision for a postcapitalism beyond growth, charting a path forward through policies that democratize the economy, 'now-topias' creating free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements making it possible to break with the logic of growth.
