Less is More - Jason Hickel
Hi everyone! Our next book will be 'Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save The World" by Jason Hickel.
In "Less is More," Jason Hickel challenges the status quo, offering a radical perspective on the global economic paradigm and its impact on our environment, society, and individual well-being. His argument centers on the concept of "degrowth," advocating for a shift away from the endless pursuit of growth for its own sake, and toward a more sustainable and equitable model for our planet.
Hickel's book delves into topics such as the consequences of overconsumption, the unequal distribution of resources, and the environmental degradation caused by our economic practices. He proposes a vision of an alternative future where humanity lives within its means, respects planetary boundaries, and prioritizes human flourishing over relentless expansion.
We will be meeting IRL on the 28th November and online on the 27th November!
