This book tackles the terms under which a knowledge-based society can indefinitely improve while pursuing an eco-economic steady state. In doing so, it addresses the literature gap on continued social improvement within a post-growth economic and cultural paradigm.Carrillo consolidates research on the Degrowth paradigm and proposes a conceptual framework for continued social improvement based on the integration of tangible and intangible collective values. He proposes a method that accounts for effective social value through capital systems valuation and development and includes this operational metric system as an alternative to the metric of Gross National Product (GNP). The book critically examines the challenges of identifying a complete and consistent representation of total social value. The book also includes a series of knowledge-based development programmes in cities and regions around the world and discusses policies and practices for urban mitigation and adaptation to the Anthropocene.This transdisciplinary book will be of particular interest to researchers of degrowth economics, sustainable development, and urban planning.

"Degrowth through Knowledge-Based Development is a spirited proposal for building an alternative social pathway, based on the principles of shared knowledge and sufficiency. Carrillo redefines progress for the 21st century, showing us how valuing intangible assets -especially knowledge - as a global commons can help societies sustainably flourish."Jeffrey Althouse, Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, France"What would qualitative development without quantitative growth look like? This book articulates a vision of knowledge-based development, one where human societies improve their wellbeing through shared knowledge, while staying within their planetary boundaries."Giorgos Kallis, ICREA Professor, ICTA-UAB, Spain"Carrillo argues persuasively that the adaptive challenges of the Anthropocene can be met only through degrowth—deliberately shrinking human society’s flows of matter and energy; further, that degrowth can have acceptable outcomes only via knowledge-based development (shifting from obtaining value through material consumption to value based on cultural richness)."Richard Heinberg, Post Carbon Institute, USA"Degrowth through KBD offers an intriguing and stimulating argument for an economics better linked to the quality of our lives. It deserves to be read by those who are dissatisfied with where mainstream economic thinking is taking us and needs to be read by those who are not."Gareth Davies, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
