Lecture by Jason Hickel: 'Less is more: How degrowth will save the world'
Jason Hickel's recent book "Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World" has received international acclaim. Jason Hickel's rhetorical skills are also well known. In this book, Jason Hickel takes stock of capitalism: instead of prosperity for all, our way of doing business has created a life full of artificial scarcities, social injustice and massive environmental destruction. Hickel is convinced that if we are to survive the crises of our time, we must free ourselves from capitalism. The alternatives are neither communism nor radical renunciation. The goal is an economy that works for the benefit of all and preserves our livelihoods. Hickel's analysis of the current situation is impressive and clear - he also develops concrete steps for a necessary transformation and makes a remarkable contribution to the question of how sustainability can be implemented in a socially just way. His book is the Financial Times Book of the Year. “A powerfully disruptive book for disrupted times. Jason Hickel takes everything we’ve been told about growth and development and turns it on its head, offering instead a radically possible vision of a post-growth future.”
