Additionally, access to technology is not equal for everyone, so its benefits may not be equally distributed. Ultimately, a good life for people depends on a combination of factors, including access to resources, social support, and opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment.

Evidence of this shift is clear in widespread and purposeful social change which is gathering momentum.The book explains how globalisation accelerated us towards the crisis, and today, even as its own legitimacy is being questioned, is evolving through solutions and responses to it.Looking ahead and as the environmental crisis worsens, two possible futures are discerned and explored.One is that through universal actions to save the planet, shaped by interweaving political and economic forces, the hegemony of globalisation is restored, albeit in a green form.The other is that the world reorganises into competing spheres of influence, with politics, economics and the environment interwoven differently in each case.In these ways, we face the prospect of one or more Empires of Sustainability emerging over the decades ahead, unless we build a better alternative society.The author presents an alternative: a more diverse World of Caring Places. This accessible book will appeal to students and scholars of international political economy, sustainability and environmental studies, and analysts, policy makers, campaigners and others concerned about the future of relations between people and planet.

What is the efficiency and legitimacy of economic growth?
Economic growth can be efficient when it leads to increased productivity, higher living standards, and improved overall well-being for a society. However, the legitimacy of economic growth depends on how it is achieved and distributed. If growth is achieved through sustainable practices and benefits are shared equitably among all members of society, it can be considered legitimate. On the other hand, if growth is achieved at the expense of the environment, or if benefits are concentrated in the hands of a few, it can lead to social inequalities and environmental degradation, undermining its legitimacy.
