In an era marked by ecological degradation and financial instability, Juliet B. Schor's "Plenitude" emerges as a beacon of hope and a guide towards a sustainable future. Schor, a renowned economist and author, challenges the conventional pursuit of growth through consumption, proposing instead a transformative approach that redefines prosperity. "Plenitude" articulates a compelling vision where embracing green technologies, nurturing community, and valuing our natural and human resources paves the way for a life that is not only environmentally sustainable but also rich in fulfillment and security. Through a synthesis of economic theory, social insights, and real-world examples, Schor illustrates how individuals and societies can thrive by shifting from the scarcity of consumer goods to the abundance of time, creativity, and interconnectedness. Schor's groundbreaking work is not merely theoretical; it is a call to action, drawing on the tangible experiences of pioneers who are forging paths out of the work-and-spend cycle and into a new paradigm of living. "Plenitude" presents an alternative model that is both achievable and necessary, where the cultivation of diverse income sources, the leveraging of modern technology for efficiency, and the reclamation of time for community and personal growth form the cornerstone of a new economy. This economy is resilient, equitable, and capable of fostering well-being in the face of ecological and financial challenges. "Plenitude" is more than a book; it is a roadmap for the next two decades, offering readers the chance to participate in creating a world that values not just wealth, but well-being.
