Table of contents: 1. Introduction 2. Economic growth 3. Critiques of growth 4. Degrowth visions 5. Pathways to degrowth 6. Making degrowth real 7. The future of growth

This book provides a vision for postcapitalism beyond growth. Building on a vibrant field of research, it discusses the political economy and the politics of a non-growing economy. It charts a path forward through policies that democratise the economy, "now-topias" that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth. Degrowth perspectives offer a way to step off the treadmill of an alienating, expansionist, and hierarchical system.
