______________________ '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
Featured in FT Best Books of the Year 2020 ______________________
The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown
and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause.
Capitalism demands 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 halting the crisis, we need to restore the balance. We need
to change how we see nature and our place in it, shifting from a
philosophy of domination and extraction to one that's rooted in
reciprocity and regeneration. We need to evolve beyond the dogmas
of capitalism to a new system that is fit for the twenty-first
century. But what does such a society look like? What about jobs?
What about health? What about progress? This book tackles these
questions and traces a clear pathway to a post-capitalist economy.
An economy that's more just, more caring, and more fun. An economy
that enables human flourishing while reversing ecological
breakdown. An economy that will not only lift us out of our current
crisis, but restore our sense of connection to a world that's
brimming with life. By taking less, we can become more.
______________________ 'A masterpiece... Less is More covers
centuries and continents, spans academic disciplines, and connects
contemporary and ancient events in a way which cannot be put down
until it's finished.' DANNY DORLING, Professor of Geography,
University of Oxford 'Jason is able to personalise the global and
swarm the mind in the way that insects used to in abundance but
soon shan't unless we are able to heed his beautifully rendered
warning.' RUSSELL BRAND 'Jason Hickel shows that recovering the
commons and decolonizing nature, cultures, and humanity are
necessary conditions for hope of a common future in our common
home.' VANDANA SHIVA, author of Making Peace With the Earth 'This
is a book we have all been waiting for. Jason Hickel dispels
ecomodernist fantasies of "green growth". Only degrowth can avoid
climate breakdown. The facts are indisputable and they are in this
book.' GIORGIS KALLIS, author of Degrowth 'Capitalism has robbed us
of our ability to even imagine something different; Less is More
gives us the ability to not only dream of another world, but also
the tools by which we can make that vision real.' ASAD REHMAN,
director of War on Want 'One of the most important books I have
read ... does something extremely rare: it outlines a clear path to
a sustainable future for all.' RAOUL MARTINEZ, author of Creating
Freedom 'Jason Hickel takes us on a profound journey through the
last 500 years of capitalism and into the current crisis of
ecological collapse. Less is More is required reading for anyone
interested in what it means to live in the Anthropocene, and what
we can do about it.' ALNOOR LADHA, co-founder of The Rules
