Less Is More by Jason Hickel

How Degrowth Will Save the World

The book explores the concept of degrowth as a solution to the environmental and social crises caused by relentless economic expansion. It argues that the pursuit of endless growth is unsustainable and detrimental to both the planet and human well-being. By advocating for a shift towards a more equitable and sustainable economic model, the book emphasizes the importance of reducing consumption, rethinking progress, and prioritizing ecological balance and social equity. Through a blend of historical analysis and contemporary examples, it challenges conventional economic paradigms and proposes a transformative vision for a more harmonious and sustainable future.
