Murray Room, Yawkey Center
In Plenitude, economist and sociologist
Juliet B. Schor offers a groundbreaking
intellectual statement about the economics
and
sociology
of
ecological
decline,
suggesting a radical change in how we
think about consumer goods, values, and
ways to live. Responding to our current
moment, Plenitude shows the wisdom and
efficiency of new lifestyles that offer a way
out of the work and spend cycle and rely
instead on newly abundant resources of
time,
information,
creativity,
and
community. Based on recent developments
in economic theory, social analysis, and
ecological design as well as evidence from
the cutting-edge people and places putting
these ideas into practice, Plenitude is a road
map for the next two decades.
Event is free and open to the public.
