Abstract:
Most of us who live in the North and the West consume far too much - too much meat, too much fat, too much sugar, too much salt. We are more likely to put on too much weight than to go hungry.

Publisher Synopsis
"I would like to use the opportunity of this review to urge readers to take up Latouche's remarkable book." Sustainability, Science, Practice , and Policy "This little book is a pleasure to read. It is critical, contrarian, informative and provocative. Latouche advances a coherent set of proposals for reversing the treadmill of an ever-more insistent growth dynamic in favour of a more serene existence based on quality of life, solidarity and respect for the environment." Bob Jessop, University of Lancaster Read more...
