«Breve trattato sulla decrescita serena» is an essay by French economist Serge Latouche, published by Bollati Boringhieri in paperback, in Italian.
Latouche argues that degrowth is not negative growth, but the abandonment of faith in unlimited development. If the Earth is finite, producing and consuming without limit is not sustainable; in the face of ecological catastrophe, he proposes relocalizing the economy and serenely building a society founded on a different logic.
This Italian edition was published in March 2008 with a translation by Fabrizio Grillenzoni; the work originally appeared in 2004 as «Petit traité de la décroissance sereine».
For readers interested in critical economics, political ecology, sustainability, and the debate on the limits of growth.
