Histoire
Climate change is the world’s biggest problem. It affects every human being on Earth, and it’s going to fundamentally alter every human institution and way of life, from business and economics to politics to spirituality, religion, culture, and identity. But, as big as it is, climate change is not “the end of history.” In fact, it’s just the beginning of a new phase of the history of humanity, one that presents opportunities as well as challenges. Being ready to ride this wave of change is the true calling of our times.

Histoire
En temps de crise, l'économie est souvent accusée de tous les maux. Mais si au lieu de la diaboliser, nous revisitons son rôle dans la société ? On pense en général qu'elle ne crée que des biens. C'est oublier sa vocation première : créer du lien, comme le montrent les réseaux d'économie solidaire. On pense aussi qu'elle épuise autant les ressources naturelles que les individus et les sociétés. C'est négliger les nouvelles pistes qui sont à notre portée, sources d'une croissance centrée sur le vivre-ensemble.

Economics for People and the Planet, a collection of essays by James K. Boyce on the environment, inequality, and the economy, argues that there is not an inexorable trade-off between advancing human well-being and having a clean and safe environment. The goal of economic policy should be to grow the good things that improve our well-being and environmental quality and reduce the bad things that harm humans and nature. To reorient the economy for these ends, we will need to achieve a more egalitarian distribution of wealth and power.
