Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto More Info Borrow
By Kohei Saito and Brian Bergstrom. From Astra House.
Why, in our affluent society, do so many people live in poverty, without access to health care, working multiple jobs and are nevertheless unable to make ends meet, with no future prospects, while the planet is burning?

Capitalism creates artificial scarcity by pursuing profit based on the value of products rather than their usefulness and by putting perpetual growth above all else. |
