Less is more : how degrowth will save the world / Jason Hickel ; preface by Kofi Klu and Rupert Read of Extinction Rebellion.

Originally published: London: William Heinemann, 2020.

The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause: capitalism. Our economic system is based on perpetual expansion, which is devastating the living world. There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate change: degrowth. If we want to have a shot at surviving the Anthropocene, we need to restore the balance. We need to change how we see the world and our place within it, shifting from a philosophy of domination and extraction to one that's rooted in reciprocity with our planet's ecology. We need to evolve beyond the dusty dogmas of capitalism to a new system that's fit for the 21st century. But what about jobs? What about health? What about progress? This text tackles these questions and offers an inspiring vision for what a post-capitalist economy could look like.
