Youth Ecological Revolution
The core truth about the ecological crisis is that humankind has heedlessly followed its biological impulses by expanding its economy beyond the Earth's natural limits. Our planet entered this overshoot condition around 1950, and its calamitous impacts were evident to informed minds by the mid-1960s. The environmentally concerned have therefore had more than half a century to examine both the unfolding crisis and the human response. Youth Ecological Revolution examines these and related issues from the perspective of the global young, who will be the most severely impacted by ecological collapse. Its main aim is to provide rational guidance to the prospective leaders of militant movements for youth ecological survival. This book is dedicated to all those young people who defiantly reject their planned genocide and instead embrace the Manifesto's concluding statement: We will not be passively slaughtered!

Needs and Limits
Humankind faces two formidable challenges in the 21st century: rapid ecological decline and continuing world poverty. The author argues that both problems are rooted in our economic concepts, which for the past 500 years have been powerfully shaped by the reality and ideology of capitalism. We must now develop a new mode of economic thought to guide us through the profound changes required to achieve sustainable and global well-being. To this end, the author proposes a set of terms, concepts, and analytical tools that are collectively known as the Economics of Needs and Limits, or ENL. Unlike conventional economic theories, which explain how an economy functions, ENL is a set of guiding principles that permits analysts to establish rational economic objectives. Such a framework is a requirement for moving our civilization beyond destructive growth and into the equitable, post-expansionary stage of its evolution.
The Economics of Needs and Limits: A Theory for Sustainable Well-Being
The ecological crisis is urgently telling humankind that we must rapidly shift from growth-dependent capitalism to a sustainable economy. The Economics of Needs and Limits, or ENL, is an economic theory that is intended to guide us on this difficult journey. ENL is based on an ethical principle: all human beings, present and future, are of high and equal worth. From this starting point the author develops a conceptual framework to help analysts set rational objectives for outputs, population, and the economy's interactions with nature. The ultimate goal is to achieve sustainable well-being. Also included in the book are novel approaches to labor productivity and trade. The main distinguishin...
Needs and Limits
Humankind has reached an unprecedented situation: it has overshot the planet's ecological limits. The author argues in chapter one that the solution is to sharply reduce our ecological impact by replacing the expansionary logic of capitalism with a new logic designed for sustainable well-being. His proposal for this new logic, the Economics of Needs and Limits (ENL), is outlined in the remainder of the book.

Managing without Growth, Second Edition
Ten years after the publication of the first edition of this influential book, the evidence is even stronger that human economies are overwhelming the regenerative capacity of the planet. This book explains why long-term economic growth is infeasible, and why, especially in advanced economies, it is also undesirable. Simulations based on real data show that managing without growth is a better alternative
