{"product_id":"9781800619180","title":"Folding the World : Sustaining a Changing World on a Finite Planet","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Folding the World, Professor Anders Levermann confronts the defining issue of our time: how humanity can thrive on a planet with finite resources. Drawing on his background in theoretical physics and his work at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Levermann proposes a groundbreaking economic framework for sustainable development, founded on the mathematical concept of \"folding\".As the age of expansion draws to a close, our need for rapid societal development is colliding with the physical limitations of Earth. Accepting the harsh reality of this situation, we face a dilemma. The desperate call for renunciation and recession, while understandable, is counterproductive; it does not solve our dilemma. The mathematical principle of folding offers an alternative: the possibility of infinite motion within a finite world — not growth into more, but growth into different. This principle is not confined to the realm of theory — it translates into actionable strategies, from carbon trading to corporate taxation, representing a tangible solution that could help chart the course for our shared future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48872043086059,"sku":"EB_BM1100_E10-07_SIMS","price":57.77,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781800619180","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
