About this listen

In this episode of Books in Dialogue, we explore Jason Hickel's Less Is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World.

Hickel challenges the conventional pursuit of endless economic growth, arguing that it leads to ecological degradation and social inequality.

He advocates for 'degrowth'—a deliberate downscaling of production and consumption in overdeveloped countries—to achieve ecological balance and enhance human well-being.

Join us as we discuss Hickel's vision for a sustainable future, where less truly becomes more.
