In an exciting way, the author puts old economic beliefs to the test and discusses in the individual chapters such as “New Reality”, “Nature and Life”, “People and Behaviour”, “Growth and Development”, “Technical Progress” and “Consumption” It is understandable why the theses of that time have lost their validity in today’s world with increasing population density and dwindling planetary resources.
“The aim of the book is not the design of a new economy, but the deeper understanding of why we need the design of a new economy, an economy that recognizes the limits of growth,” says Maria Lindinger of the Green Steyr. “Göpel also asks what is perhaps the most important question: What is preventing us from implementing goals such as environmental protection and sustainability?”
After reading this book, you might be a little closer to the desire to respect the security of supply for future generations. Lindinger: “In my view, that would be a good prerequisite for action in this direction.”
