This book offers a compelling rethinking of de/post-growth as a holistic concept, a critical discourse, and a transformative practice. Bringing together interdisciplinary and global perspectives, the volume is situated at the intersection of debates on modernity, decolonization, ecological economics and sustainability. It challenges the dominant social imaginary of limitless growth, bringing forward instead diverse visions and creative experiments that seek to reimagine what it means to live well in more equitable, convivial, and ecologically sustainable ways within a pluriversal world. The volume brings into conversation scholars from the Global South and the Global North, fostering a productive, polyvocal dialogue on alternative futures beyond growth. It will be indispensable to students and researchers of social sciences, international politics, sustainability and development, development economics, environmental economics, and business studies. It will also be of interest to NGOs, activists, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating a sustainable future.
