Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World Free Audiobook Download by Jason Hickel

Jason Hickel argues in his book, Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save The World, that economies that grow too fast will only destroy the planet. By focusing on lower and slower growth, we can tackle the urgent problems of inequality, climate change and resource depletion while also developing new industries and lifestyles to support a healthier society.

The first chapter starts with a sense of urgency. In order to better the world, economist and philosopher Jason Hickel argues that "we must reduce our impact on Earth's ability to support life by reducing the scale of economic activity." This means fewer jobs, less money, and less stuff being produced. Hickel argues for a new society based on degrowth, where people are just given what they need, but not more than that.

The talk starts with an introduction to degrowth and how it is the most viable solution to our current crisis. The first part of the talk then looks at some of the key concepts in degrowth. It begins with discussing how a materialistic society is unsustainable and then goes on to discuss the exponential growth curve, environmental limits, and ecological crisis. Finally, there was a section that discussed social movements and their role in changing society.

The best way to save the planet, according to author and philosopher Jason Hickel, is to limit our impact on it. The more we consume, the more we destroy. And the less we consume (or work), the better off the species will be. But how can this be done? Hickel points out that, if people can't afford cars and other expensive goods, then they'll have to rely on slower methods of transportation such as walking or cycling.

What if we could live in a world with fewer resources? What if there was less of everything, but still enough? This audiobook features the author's thoughts on degrowth. This book will give listeners a glimpse into what degrowth is and why it is important. It also gives lots of great information on how to live a degrowth-friendly life.

Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World is a book by Jason Hickel, examining how a degrowth economy could avoid more climate change and materialism. It argues that we need to shift away from what he calls ‘conspicuous consumption’ in order to avoid over-consumption and the resulting ecological crises.
