The edited volume New Economies for Sustainability: Limits and Potentials for Possible Futures brings together a range of alternative views on economy and organization to illustrate different perspectives on how to work towards more sustainable solutions to production, consumptions and economic organization more generally.
The book brings chapters from the most renowned scholars in the field, who bring their perspectives on how alternative schools theorize politics, society, organization, nature and ethics in their attempts to develop theories with a strong focus on sustainability. The book aims to contribute with a platform for gathering and collecting these theories in a pluralist economic framework, which can provide a strong alternative voice to mainstream economic theories in sustainability debates.

The first book to bring together a selection of heterodox schools to give their perspectives on sustainable transition The only book going across alternative schools and disciplines in order to enhance a dialogue about a common foothold Brings together a group of top scholars on the role of economy for finding new sustainable pathways for the future
