Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World

by Jason Hickel - £9.99  Cornerstone (2021)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781786091215 | ISBN 10: 1786091216

The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause.
 
Capitalism demands 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 halting the crisis, we need to restore the balance. We need to change how we see nature and our place in it, shifting from a philosophy of domination and extraction to one that's rooted in reciprocity and regeneration. We need to evolve beyond the dogmas of capitalism to a new system that is fit for the twenty-first century. But what does such a society look like? What about jobs? What about health? What about progress?
 
This book tackles these questions and traces a clear pathway to a post-capitalist economy. An economy that's more just, more caring, and more fun. An economy that enables human flourishing while reversing ecological breakdown. An economy that will not only lift us out of our current crisis, but restore our sense of connection to a world that's brimming with life.
 
By taking less, we can become more.
