We're overusing the earth's finite resources, and yet excessive consumption is failing to improve our lives. The authors lay out a visionary but realistic alternative to the perpetual pursuit of economic growth and explore strategies to conserve natural resources, stabilize population, reduce inequality, fix the financial system, create jobs, and more.
