Prosperity in the Twenty-First Century: Concepts, Models and Metrics - Henrietta L. Moore

Descriere Prosperity in the Twenty-First Century: Concepts, Models and Metrics - Henrietta L. Moore

A powerful vision for reimagining prosperity for the twenty-first century. \nProsperity in the Twenty-First Century sets out a new vision for prosperity in the twenty-first century and how it can be achieved for all. The volume challenges orthodox understandings of economic models but goes beyond contemporary debates to show how social innovation drives economic value. Drawing on substantive research in the UK, Lebanon, and Kenya, it develops new concepts, frameworks, models, and metrics for prosperity across a wide range of contexts, emphasizing commonalities and differences. Departing from general propositions about post-growth to delineate pathways to prosperity, the volume emphasizes that visions of the good life are diverse and require empirical work co-designed with local communities and stakeholders to drive change. It will be essential reading for policymakers who are stuck, local government officers who need new tools, activists who wonder what is next, academics in need of refreshment, and students and people of all ages who want a way forward. \n \n\n \nProsperity in the Twenty-First Century sets a new agenda for defining and delivering prosperity in face of the twenty-first century's dynamic global challenges.\n
