What is Slow Down or Die: The Economics of Degrowth about?

A Publishers Weekly Most Ancitipated Book of Spring 2025A bold call to abandon the myth of endless economic growth and embrace a sustainable, just, and thriving future. One of the most deeply ingrained beliefs of our age is that perpetual economic growth is the solution to most, if not all, of society's problem. In Slow Down or Die, French economist Timothée Parrique brilliantly challenges this myth, demonstrating how producing more won't solve climate change, poverty, or inequality. In fact, our obsession with growth is accelerating social and ecological collapse. Parrique argues that we don't need endless growth to prosper; instead, we must radically rethink how our economies are organized. He reveals that the GDP, the standard measure of progress, is blind to human well-being and environmental health, making it a poor—and indeed, dangerous—guide for the future.
