description: 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 thats rooted in reciprocity with our planets ecology. We need to evolve beyond the dusty dogmas of capitalism to a new system thats fit for the twenty-first century.But what about jobs? What about health? What about progress? This book tackles these questions and offers an inspiring vision for what a post-capitalist economy could look like. An economy thats more just more caring and more fun. An economy that enables human flourishing while reversing ecological breakdown. By taking less we can become more.
