A Holistic Approach to Comprehending the Complexity of the Post-growth Era: The Emerging Profile

  • Conference paper
Chaos, Complexity and Leadership 2014

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Complexity ((SPCOM))

Abstract

The goal of this study is to investigate the problems caused by the rapid growth of the global economy, coupled with high population growth and the excessive exploitation of natural resources. The global economy will not be able to maintain its current speed of growth in the long term, so a paradigm shift in production and consumption is necessary, if the collapse of ecosystems and the concurrent depletion of natural resources are to be avoided. This is the reason why capitalism needs to take a turn towards a sustainable and naturally harmonized development model.
