How to fulfil the UN sustainability goalsrethinking the role and concept of money in the light of sustainability /[electronic resource] :by Felix Fuders. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xxv, 357 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Part I - Money and its role in the economy -- 1. Introduction: the world is on a collision course -- 2. What is money? -- 3. Money is like the 'blood' of the economy -- Part II Money and the unsustainability in stricto sensu -- 4. The growth imperative inherent in our financial system -- 5. The effect of the money interest rate on money supply, demand and growth -- 6. Economic growth in the long run is unsustainable -- 7. Economic growth or unemployment -- Part III. Money and inequality -- 8. Our current monetary system produces income inequality -- 9. Moral-ethic aspects of interest-induced inequality -- Part IV Natural money as solution -- 10. Gesell's solution -- 11. Gesell's Solution to achieve the SDGs -- 12. How to implement Gesell's solution in today's world -- 13. Alternatives to Gesell's solution -- 14. Experiences with Gesell's solution -- Part V Outlook and final considerations -- 15. Towards a Development at Human Scale -- 16. Economic resilience in presence of externals shocks -- 17. Final considerations.

This book combines the field of economics -especially monetary theory- with other disciplines like ecology, physics, humanities, social sciences and development theory. This transdisciplinary approach makes the book a unique contribution for researchers, students, policy makers and professionals working in governmental or nongovernmental institutions, as well as anyone interested in society's well-being and achieving a true social-ecological transformation. It is written in an accessible language in order to reach a broad audience. In 2015, more than 190 world leaders recognized that the world is on a "collision course" (Max-Neef) and committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Many conferences and high-level meetings have been held since then, and one of the most frequently discussed topics is how to finance these goals. There is a widespread belief that coming up with more money for sustainable development will "do the trick". Usually, the discussions focus on finding additional financial resources in order to achieve the goals faster. In this book it is argued that not only is more money needed, but it needs to be a different kind of money. The book demonstrates that ALL but one of the SDGs are directly linked to our monetary system, which -being completely unnatural- can be seen as the most important, but at the same time least recognized, reason for market failure. Many people think we just need to do more, faster, better. Very few say that we have done things fundamentally wrong and that the institutions and values which motivated us to do those things need to be changed. It will be concluded that only if we change our unnatural design of money to a more natural one, will we be able to reach these goals.
