{"product_id":"folding-the-world-levermann-anders-9781800618985","title":"Folding the World","description":"In Folding the World, Professor Anders Levermann confronts the defining issue of our time: how humanity can thrive on a planet with finite resources. Drawing on his background in theoretical physics and his work at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Levermann proposes a groundbreaking economic framework for sustainable development, founded on the mathematical concept of 'folding'.As the age of expansion draws to a close, our need for rapid societal development is colliding with the physical limitations of Earth. Accepting the harsh reality of this situation, we face a dilemma. The desperate call for renunciation and recession, while understandable, is counterproductive; it does not solve our dilemma. The mathematical principle of folding offers an alternative: the possibility of infinite motion within a finite world -- not growth into more, but growth into different. This principle is not confined to the realm of theory -- it translates into actionable strategies, from carbon trading to corporate taxation, representing a tangible solution that could help chart the course for our shared future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Levermann Anders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800618980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800618985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wspc (Europe)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Levermann Anders","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588391907583,"sku":"9781800618985","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folding-the-world-levermann-anders-9781800618985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
