Welfare after Growth: Theoretical Discussion and Policy Implications
Författare
Summary, in English
contributions on happiness, well-being and alternative measures of measuring prosperity, which indicate that individual and social welfare is by no means equivalent to GDP growth.If the requirements of prosperity and welfare go well beyond material sustenance, then
approaches that aim to conceptualize welfare under the circumstances of a “stable state economy” become more relevant. A qualitatively different environmental and welfare policy governance network would need to integrate the redistribution of carbon emissions, work,
time, income and wealth. Since social policies will be necessary to address the emerging inequalities and conflicts, this article considers the roles that the various “no-growth”
approaches dedicate to social policy and welfare instruments.
