About
A far-reaching inquiry from a leading thinker into how we can achieve healthy growth: more regenerative than destructive, restoring equity rather than exacerbating inequalities.
The Growth Compass reframes the hot-button issue of economic growth. Going beyond the usual dialectic of pro-growth versus anti-growth, Stoknes proposes that healthy economic growth is possible-a growth that is more regenerative than destructive, that truly repairs problems rather than greenwashing them, and that restores equity rather than exacerbating global inequalities. Stoknes explains the psychology behind our varying views about growth; explains what healthy growth might look like and how it can deliver new metrics with which organizations, cities, regions, or governments can assess their progress; and looks at how to accelerate systemic change.
