Sinopsis

A circular economy has profound consequences for production, employment, education, money and finance but also induces a shift in public policy and taxation. The economic advantage of this model lies in designing out waste, enabling access over ownership, favouring radical resources productivity, with prospect of rebuilding natural capital and resilience.Since the first edition of this volume publishedáin 2015, the global economy has remainedárelatively subdued and pressure on resources, especially in terms of waste andácarbon emissions, continues. More than ever, the circular economy gives the direction of travel, andáappears as a model for economic prosperity.This revised volume contains one entirely new chapter, expanding on the role ofádigital, on how we see the world, how the economy really works and how we canáact within it. The other major revision is in rewriting the final chapter, as it becomesáobvious, argues the author, that current social tensions and the rise of populismámean that the evolution of an attractive economic model is no longer just aádesirable development, but a matter of some urgency.The foreword is written by Ellen MacArthur and the book includes contributionsáfrom Walter Stahel from the Product-Life Institute, Geneva and Jocelyn Blériot,áExecutive Officer at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
