Colapsología

There are many questions that arise just by mentioning the word collapse: What do we know about the global state of the Earth? And what about our civilization? Is a collapse of stock prices comparable to one of biodiversity? Can the convergence and perpetuation of the different "crises" drag us towards an irreversible maelstrom? How far can all this go? In how much time? Is it possible to experience a "civilized" collapse in a more or less peaceful way? Pablo Servigne, an agricultural engineer and doctor in Biology, and Raphaël Stevens, a researcher and specialist in ecological transition, analyze all the scientific studies that have shown the real possibility of a collapse, and offer an interdisciplinary view of a subject that is still taboo for many today: the collapse. In this book they put words to our intuitions about the consequences of the multiple crises we are experiencing: ecological, energy, demographic, financial, public health crises... However, for Servigne and Stevens the worst case scenario does not have to come to fruition; they neither give up nor fall into catastrophism. On the contrary, they invite us to react, to act and give birth to a more sustainable, friendlier, more humane society.
