Description

"A powerful book for revolutionary times... If you are looking for transformative ideas, this book is for you." KATE RAWORTH, economist and author of Doughnut Economics

Less is More is the wake-up call we need. By shedding light on ecological collapse and the system that causes it, Hickel shows how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and create a thriving society for everyone. This is our chance to change course, but we need to act now.

"A masterpiece... Less is More spans centuries and continents, connecting modern and ancient events in a way that will keep the reader engaged until the end." DANNY DORLING, Professor of Geography, University of Oxford

"Jason is able to globalize the personal and shake the mind in the way insects were once plentiful, but soon will not be if we fail to heed his beautifully articulated warning." RUSSELL BRAND

"Jason Hickel shows that reclaiming the commons and decolonizing nature, cultures, and humanity are prerequisites of hope for a shared future in our common home." VANDANA SHIVA, author of Making Peace With the Earth

"This is a book we've all been waiting for. Jason Hickel dismantles the ecological fantasies of 'green growth.' Only degrowth can prevent climatic collapse. The facts are indisputable and are found in this book." GIORGIS KALLIS, author of Degrowth

"Capitalism has stolen our ability to imagine something different. Less is More gives us the ability to dream of another world, as well as the tools to make that vision a reality." ASAD REHMAN, Director of War on Want

"One of the most important books I've read... does something extremely rare: it provides a clear path to a sustainable future for everyone." RAOUL MARTINEZ, author of Creating Freedom

"Jason Hickel takes us on a deep journey through the past 500 years of capitalism and the current crisis of ecological collapse. Less is More is essential reading for anyone interested in what it means to live in the Anthropocene and what we can do about it." ALNOOR LADHA, co-editor of The Rules

"Outstanding analysis... This book explores not only systemic weaknesses but also the deeply ingrained cultural beliefs that need to be uprooted and replaced." ADELE WALTON
