Economic growth isn’t working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of colonialism, fossil-fueled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future Is Degrowth argues that the ideology of growth conceals the rising inequalities and ecological destructions associated with capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it.
Not only in society at large, but also on the left, we are held captive by the hegemony of growth. Even proposals for emancipatory Green New Deals or postcapitalism base their utopian hopes on the development of productive forces, on redistributing the fruits of economic growth and technological progress. Yet growing evidence shows that continued economic growth cannot be made compatible with sustaining life and is not necessary for a good life for all.
This book provides a vision for postcapitalism beyond growth. It discusses the political economy and the politics of a non-growing economy. It charts a path forward through policies that democratize the economy, “now-topias” that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth. Degrowth perspectives offer a way to step off the treadmill of an alienating, expansionist, and hierarchical system.

They have it right; socialism is very good at limiting growth and distributing poverty.

Since the author is anticapitalistic, I wonder what he’s going to do with the proceeds from the book sales…

if youre downloading this book for free (unless you’re a kleptomaniac or a massive hypocrite) since theft is the antithesis of capitalism you couldnt possibly be a capitalist could you?

The degrowth movement is simply put, the death of millions of human beings. Read it carefully while attempts to redefine words and concepts such as benefits.
If you follow the logic, degrowth and shrinking GDP can have literally only one result—civilizations that cannot support the amount of people currently on the planet. To put this succinctly and what it actually means for us; is starving in the dark while we freeze to death.
It by definition anti-human and akin to a global suicide cult of the global elites, who have every intention on continuing to live as they do now. It is just one of their many plans for massive depopulation and it does not make a better world for us, quite the opposite.

People here have commented based on a fear impulse from just barely reading the title. I guarantee non of you have read this book (had it read to you since its an audiobook) or even attempted to read a short article, watch a short video by any of the leading proponents of the movement.
“It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism”
