A Publishers WeeklyMost Ancitipated Book of Spring 2025A bold call to abandon the myth of endless economic growth and embrace a sustainable, just, and thriving future. Blistering debut... An urgent and elegant challenge to the status quo.Publishers Weekly (starred review)One of the most deeply ingrained beliefs of our age is that perpetual economic growth is the solution to most, if not all, of societys problem. InSlow Down or Die, French economist Timothe Parrique brilliantly challenges this myth, demonstrating how producing more wont solve climate change, poverty, or inequality. In fact, our obsession with growth is accelerating social and ecological collapse.Parrique argues that we dont 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 poorand indeed, dangerousguide for the future.This book proposes a different vision, tracing a path toward a post-growth economy where decisions are made collectively and democratically. The goal is not the infinite accumulation of wealth but the creation of a just, equitable, and sustainable society. In this accessible and inspiring work, Parrique invites us to embrace a future of moderation and shared prosperity, proving that slowing down is the key to true progress and equality.
