Opis

More and more people believe that there must be a path to a good life beyond growth. But how do the economic crisis and the vision of a post-growth-society change the debate about the good life? Can we identify conditions for a good life in a society that can no longer guarantee a rising income for everybody? In this volume, the complex relations between the crisis of the growth paradigm and conceptions of the good life are addressed by researchers from sociology, philosophy, economics, psychology and political science. Read together, these essays will have a major impact on the debates about economic growth, economic and ecological justice, and the good life in times of crisis.
