Five Insights for Avoiding Global Collapse: What a 50-Year-Old Model of the World Taught Me About a Way Forward for Us Today

Published by MDPI, this book from Gaya Herrington can help you to put today's key social and environmental challenges into perspective. Rooted in rigorous research and analysis, Herrington suggests that growth will halt within the next few decades as social and environmental systems breakdown, threatening global collapse unless transformational action is taken. Applying a systems-thinking lens, the book explains how the pursuit of economic growth is the key driver of our polycrisis; explains the need to develop a new narrative that shifts away from infinite economic growth; and explores how this new narrative can be put into practice. The insights offered in this book are applicable to all, but are essential for sustainability practitioners and senior leaders guiding the future of business.
