Post-Growth Economy

A Post-Growth Economy is an economic model that moves away from the traditional goal of continuous growth in GDP and consumption. Instead, it emphasizes sustainability, well-being, and equity, recognizing that endless growth can harm the environment and societal health. This approach advocates for reduced resource use, prioritizing quality of life and environmental health over sheer economic expansion. It suggests a shift towards alternative measures of progress, such as community well-being, ecological balance, and resource conservation, focusing on creating a fulfilling, stable society that respects planetary limits.
