Challenging the concept of sustainable development, this book critically examines its true implications and effectiveness. The author contends that while the narrative promotes social and environmental sustainability, key issues like consumption, population growth, and equity are often overlooked or misrepresented in international policies. By analyzing economic growth, market structures, trade, and other critical areas, the book reveals how the current development framework diverges from the genuine goals of sustainability, leading to unintended consequences.
