Book Conversation with Alessio Terzi about “Growth for Good”

1 July 2022, 18:30
Friday July 1, 2022 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Climate change is happening, and its various consequences are taking hold even more rapidly than initially anticipated. In order to fight this challenge, can we really rely on growth?
In "Growth for Good", LSE Alumnus and book author Alessio Terzi takes us through a riveting journey into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, and cultural origins of our need for growth.
His book presents a credible agenda to enroll capitalism in the fight against climate catastrophe. With the right policies and the help of engaged citizens, pioneering nations can set in motion a global decarbonisation wave and in parallel create good jobs and a better, greener, healthier world.
LSE AAB invites you to a book presentation with the author. Agnès Leroux, former LSE AAB President, will lead what promises to be a fascinating discussion. You will afterwards have the opportunity to buy the book and get the author to sign it. Wine will be available for purchase afterwards to continue the conversation in an informal setting.
