Post-Growth Economics

Post-Growth Economics is an approach that questions the idea that economic growth should always be prioritized. It suggests that instead of focusing solely on increasing production and consumption, societies should aim for sustainability, well-being, and social equity. This perspective recognizes that infinite growth is unrealistic on a finite planet and emphasizes quality of life, environmental health, and equitable resource distribution over continuous economic expansion. The goal is to create a balanced economy that supports human and ecological well-being without relying on perpetual growth.
