General note:	Two hundred and fifty years after the beginning of the Industrial Revolution the majority is still basically discontented and unable to live fulfilled lives while we are threatening the very planet on which we live, thereby jeopardising our own existence. In this ridiculous situation we obviously need to revise dramatically our thinking about the outlines of a just economy and a decent society in which everyone can lead dignified lives. Sufficiency Thinking provides creative approaches to this quandary and this important volume is a brilliant addition to the growing literature critical of mainstream business-as-usual ideology.’ John Komlos, Professor Emeritus, University of Munich
