Rethinking Economic Models for Sustainability

This chapter addresses the unsustainable nature of current economic systems, particularly the dangers of prioritizing GDP growth at the expense of the environment and social equity. It explores alternative frameworks like complexity economics and metamodern capitalism, advocating for localized and regenerative practices that can mitigate the pitfalls of global capitalism. The discussion underscores the need for a balanced economic approach that integrates environmental considerations and recognizes the value of all societal contributions.
