«Fleeing Vesuvius» is the essay collection edited by Richard Douthwaite and Gillian Fallon, published by New Society Publishers in paperback.
It starts from the 2008 financial crisis to argue that economic growth has ended and that economies will contract due to resource scarcity such as oil. Its twenty-seven essays link peak oil, economic instability and climate change, and propose personal adaptation, self-sufficient communities and international economic reforms.
Subtitled «Overcoming the Risks of Economic and Environmental Collapse», it includes a foreword by Richard Heinberg and bibliographic references and an index.
Aimed at readers of economics, sustainability and public policy, and at a university audience interested in alternatives to growth.
