Our planet is in trouble. How can we reverse the current crisis and create a sustainable future? The world has finally woken up to the reality of climate and ecological collapse, now we must confront its root cause. Capitalism demands perpetual expansion, which is devastating the world, and there is only one solution that will lead to significant and immediate change: degrowth. If we want to have a chance of stopping the crisis, we have to slow down and restore the balance. Change our way of seeing nature and our place in it, moving from a philosophy of domination and extraction to another based on reciprocity and regeneration. We have to evolve beyond the dogmas of capitalism towards a new system fit for the 21st century. But what about employment? And health? And the progress? Jason Hickel addresses these questions and offers an inspiring vision of what a post-capitalist economy could look like: an economy that is fairer, more caring, and one that will not only get us out of the current crisis, but restore our sense of connection to a world teeming with life. By taking less, we can become more. Hickel shows us how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and build a better future.
