[Kōhei Saitō makes] a provocative and visionary proposal." —Publishers Weekly, starred review"A cogently structured anti-capitalist approach to the climate crisis."—Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewWhy, 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?In his international bestseller, Kōhei Saitō argues that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed for inequality and climate change, subsequent calls for “sustainable growth” and a “Green New Deal” are a dangerous compromise. 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. It is therefore impossible to reverse climate change in a capitalist society—more: the system that caused the problem in the first place cannot be an integral part of the solution. Instead, Saitō advocates for degrowth and deceleration, which he conceives as the slowing of economic activity through the democratic reform of labor and production. In practical terms, he argues for:the end of mass production and mass consumptiondecarbonization through shorter working hoursthe prioritization of essential labor over corporate profitsBy returning to a system of social ownership, he argues, we can restore abundance and focus on those activities that are essential for human life, effectively reversing climate change and saving the planet.Country/Region of Manufacture: USItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 318gTranslator: Brian BergstromContributor: Brian Bergstrom (Translated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Business & Finance, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
