After Capitalism? Some Suggested Models

Capitalism as a “grow or die” system cannot survive on a planet with limited resources. In addition to the steady-state economy several alternative models have been proposed as possible successors of the present-day capitalism. These are the green capitalism or green economy model, the de-growth model, the eco-socialism model, the participatory model and the Oskar Lange model of socialism. Each of these models has advantages and disadvantages.
