Summary

The Club of Rome's 2022 follow-up to The Limits to Growth — arguing for a 'Giant Leap' involving radical wealth redistribution, food system transformation, and energy transition to achieve global sustainability.

Core Contribution

50-year update with prescriptions: Earth for All presents two scenarios using system dynamics modeling: (1) 'Too Little Too Late' (business as usual leading to instability); (2) 'Giant Leap' (a radical policy package that achieves sustainability). The Giant Leap requires: ending poverty through universal basic income, addressing inequality through wealth taxation, empowering women through education and reproductive rights, transforming the food system, and transitioning to clean energy. The book's prescriptions are explicitly global and require international coordination — making it a target for critics who see it as a blueprint for global technocratic governance.
