This book examines the four forms of wealth available to people, namely material wealth, spiritual wealth, natural wealth, and the wealth of experiences.

In the evolution of human society, the increase in material wealth has prevailed, which has been and continues to be the result of two main factors: consumer waste and significant population growth. Overconsumption and overpopulation have now become the two major problems of our time. These have brought our planet to the brink of its endurance and have created the enormous ecological problems of our era.

Future generations will face extremely great survival difficulties. The answer to these difficulties and the prosperity of the coming generations lies in the significant reduction of the global population in the coming years and in the limitation of consumer waste.

Humanity must abandon the destructive pursuit of continuous growth, which is no longer feasible, and adopt the model of a steady economy at a level of prosperity attainable for all future generations.

We can no longer live like Onassis, nor is it necessary to live like Saint Francis.
