  • Less is More

    Enlightening and thought-provoking. This was my introduction to degrowth, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the history of capitalism, reciprocity and interconnection with nature, and creative ideas for a post-capitalist world.
