Fundamental concepts of the good life are explained and explored, as are forces that threaten the good life for all. The remedy, says the book's seven international authors, lies with the concept of consumption corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and deliberative democracy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcross five concise chapters, readers are invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by social change that joins \"needs satisfaction\" with consumerist restraint, social justice, and environmental sustainability. In this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample precedent. But upper limits to consumption, argue the authors, are equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains where limits enhance rather than undermine essential freedoms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the social sciences and humanities, and environmental and sustainability studies, as well as to community activists and the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/books\/e\/9780367748746, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoris Fuchs\u003c\/strong\u003e is Chair of International Relations and Sustainable Development at the University of Münster, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarlyne Sahakian is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTobias Gumbert is a Lecturer at the Institute of Political Science, University of Münster, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntonietta Di Giulio is a Senior Researcher at the University of Basel, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Maniates is Professor of Social Science (Environmental Studies) at Yale-NUS College, Singapore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSylvia Lorek is Chair of the Sustainable Europe Research Institute, Germany, and Adjunct Professor in Consumer Economics at the University of Helsinki, Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntonia Graf is a Junior Professor of Global Environmental Governance at the University of Münster, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 04, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748694294816,"sku":"9780367748722","price":106.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/56708b4fbf0a3bef2f4cabe09e4a9b6a.webp?v=1779913937","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/consumption-corridors-living-a-good-life-within-sustainable-limits-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
