Nature provides the ecosystem services that support our civilisation, thus making humanity unavoidably dependent upon it. However, society continues to ignore and deny this dependence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Future Beyond Growth explores the reason why the endless growth economy is fundamentally \u003ci\u003eun\u003c\/i\u003esustainable and considers ways in which society can move beyond this to a steady state economy. The book brings together some of the deepest thinkers from around the world to consider how to advance \u003ci\u003ebeyond growth\u003c\/i\u003e.
