That moment your review schedule gets railroaded... the dinosaurs will have to wait for a moment as United States Society for #EcologicalEconomics is having a book club in two weeks' time discussing @jasonhickel's Less is More. It's time to talk #degrowth and I shall endeavour to review this book then! #Books #BookReview #Bookstodon #Economics
“The best the degrowth literature has to offer served on a silver platter.”
That’s how economist Timothée Parrique describes The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism.
This book is a powerful, comprehensive read into what the #degrowth movement is all about: a bold, systemic alternative to the status quo of endless growth. If you’ve ever questioned the sustainability of our current economic model, this book might just offer the clarity you’ve been seeking.
“The justification of sacrificing others in the name of personal enrichment. Which is the essence of capitalism itself” - Kohei Saito
a necessary reading, even more relevant today!

@timparrique's book is finally appearing in English translation. I have "threatened" to talk about #degrowth for a while now on my blog. Seems I have been given the excuse I need
This is good from Ben Radley, University of Bath

"Mir geht es im Wesentlichen darum, zu erkennen, dass Kapitalismus Knappheit schafft, und Entschleunigung mehr Sicherheit schafft. Und nur mit Kollektiven und Graswurzelgruppen wird Transformation nicht funktionieren. Es wäre wichtig, dass der Staat Wohnraum, Nahrung, oder Mobilität als essentielles, entkommerzialisiertes Gemeingut reguliert."

Alrighty then! Thanks to everyone who tuned into #SolarPunkSunday, and @MaQuest and @BrambleBearGrrrauwling , and everyone who chimed in about #GuerillaGardening and #PeanutGardening (do at your own risk!). Tune in next Sunday (assuming there's still an internet) with more about #Rewilding #RepairCafes #Degrowth #Sustainability #LibraryOfThings #Makerspace, etc! Suggestions welcome!

Find's sehr gut, dass sich #NeueNarrative nicht vor der Debatte unserer Zeit versteckt.

Doing a bit of research into #degrowth and using my gradually more battered Lamy, while I wait out my cold until I can get back on my motorcycle.
As convincing as the argument of "let's not boil alive" is, I have to wonder why. What's the point of saving the planet if there's no motorcycles or steaks there. Or even the ability to travel (because jets are of course massive polluters.)
I suppose that's one way to curb our addiction to goods that were made cheaply in China? #Degrowth by #TradeWars? However, it WILL hurt American business, and a lot of the small ones won't survive. Will #Trump and fiends blame #GeorgeSoros when constituents of red states storm republicans' offices with torches and pitchforks? We'll see...
Trump's China tariff shocks US importers. One CEO calls it 'end of days'
By Paul Wiseman, April 12, 2025
Excerpt: "It might at least be the end of an era of inexpensive consumer goods in America. For four decades, and especially since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, Americans have relied on Chinese factories for everything from smartphones to Christmas ornaments."
