A radical vision for a better future: an economy that works for us rather than the other way
around. As this major German bestseller reports our world is at a tipping point and we feel
it every day. Costs are rising the gap between the rich and poor is increasing natural
resources are depleted and the effects of climate change are starting to take hold. We are
under increasing social and environmental stress. But as leading economist Maja Göpel argues
here there is another path forward. She invites us to imagine what we want our future to
look like and offers solutions that will help us to get there. It's time to question our
principles set new goals and re-evaluate our priorities. Time to rethink our world and find
new ways of living that don't drain our planet any further. We need a fair distribution of
wealth and a way to reconcile the social with the ecological. We need to work smarter not
harder. Critical yet full of encouragement Maja Göpel chooses surprising and enlightening
examples to illustrate how we can leave behind our familiar ways of living to achieve a better
future.
