Finished reading Capitalism, Degrowth and the Steady State Economy Debating Future Economic Models by Theodore P. Lianos
This is a bracing little read. Lots of writers these days toss around the possibility of some alternative to capitalism being a preferable economic model without indulging in very many specifics about how such a thing would work, or how such a change would come about. The author here takes a somewhat rigorous (and mercifully brief) approach to examining various alternatives, and concludes that most of these won’t hold water, and finally lands on a degrowth/steady state economy as our necessary future.
