How we can achieve healthy growth--more regenerative than destructive, restoring equity rather than exacerbating inequalities.
In The Growth Compass, 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.

The Green Growth Compass: Navigating the Twenty-First Century Economy Reviews

This book needs time to think it over. Definitely not the most easy book I had in my hands in terms of after-reading. What is a growth and what is a sustainability in fact? How this impacts the future and influences economy? The questions should be found in our post reading thoughts but the author has done a very good job in coaching a reader on this topic.
