Summary:
Economic growth isn’t working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of colonialism, fossil-fueled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, ''The future is degrowth'' argues that the ideology of growth conceals the rising inequalities and ecological destructions associated with capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it. Not only in society at large, but also on the left, we are held captive by the hegemony of growth. Even proposals for emancipatory Green New Deals or postcapitalism base their utopian hopes on the development of productive forces, on redistributing the fruits of economic growth and technological progress. Yet growing evidence shows that continued economic growth cannot be made compatible with sustaining life and is not necessary for a good life for all. 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.

Summary:
In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier David Boyd sets out to remedy Canada's environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canada's environmental laws and policies with those in the US, Australia, and the EU, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the causes of Canada's second-rate standards. Finally, he prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world's environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.

Summary:
This publication examines the economic conditions of architecture, which are all too often disregarded in the day-to-day life of people working in the profession. The focus is on contracts, jobs, and office structures, on profitability and phases in the construction industry’s economic cycles, on work processes, authorship, and labour rights, on digital outsourcing, and digital out- sourcing. The book sets out to reveal the business footing on which architecture stands: How does it operate today in economic terms? "ARCH+ The Business of Architecture" is intended as a stimulus, offering tools that will empower budding and practising architects alike. A rich variety of (for the most part) up-and-coming offices are presented that have developed new, forward-looking business models, organizational strategies, and resource concepts: these include ARGE c/o, Assemble, Chybik+Kristof, Ana Filipovic, IFUB*, L’atelier—Nomadic Architecture Studio, and Space & Matter.
