Beschreibung

'A powerfully disruptive book for disrupted times ... If you're looking for transformative ideas, this book is for you.' KATE RAWORTH, economist and author of Doughnut Economics

A Financial Times Book of the Year
______________________________________
Our planet is in trouble. But how can we reverse the current crisis and create a sustainable future? The answer is: DEGROWTH.

Less is More is the wake-up call we need. By shining a light on ecological breakdown and the system that's causing it, Hickel shows how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and build a thriving society for all. This is our chance to change course, but we must act now.

'Excellent analysis...This book explores not only the systemic flaws but the deeply cultural beliefs that need to be uprooted and replaced.' ADELE WALTON

An essential read for modern economists on how to envision and create an economy that rather than exploiting people and environment ensures their well-being. Beyond economics, this book delves into ecology, history, philosophy, and anthropology to paint an encompassing picture of a just and equitable future worth fighting for

Unerträglich verflachend.

das Buch ist krass. Krass verflachend. Die Grundidee des Buches ist ja durchaus richtig: Wachstum bedeutet eine immer stärkere Ausbeutung des Planeten und das kann so nicht weitergehen. Und im Rahmen der Einleitung werden gute Gedanken aufgebracht. Aber dann gehts los. Es folgt eine Kette von Behauptungen, die nicht belegt werden. Es werden Kausalitäten vermutet, wo es keine gibt. Den arabischen Frühling beispielsweise gab es, weil die Arbeitnehmer unzufrieden mit Ihren Löhnen waren... Naja ob das so stimmt 😅
