Cea mai interesantă parte este punerea în context, ce s-a întâmplat pe acest drum de la feudalism la capitalism, în ultimii 500 de ani, de-am reușit să ne separăm cu totul de natură și să îi privim chiar și pe cei mai mulți dintre semenii noștri ca pe niște suboameni. Hickels debunks this, and he also debunks the very simple idea that growth for growth's sake simply doesn't exist in nature. But Hickel actually convinced me that the well-being and joy of humans is tied up with thriving ecosystems, and that systems of real democracy can protect it all.

In the past, most climate models have assumed that even if global warming locks in the total melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet, the process of disintegration will stretch out over a couple of centuries. He assumes that we must and will switch to renewable energy, and this is probably better than using fossil fuels, but is it enough?Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer. Too often authors come up with 'possible' solutions which rely on as yet untested or non-existent answers. Jason Hickel takes us on a profound journey through the last 500 years of capitalism and into the current crisis of ecological collapse. De eerste helft is een uiteenzetting van wat tegelijkertijd als een totale open deur als als een revolutionair verhaal. Disproportionate impact of climate crisis will be on the Global South which is the least responsible for the current situation.

It’s unfortunate that he has botched a number of the significant details that should emerge from a book on degrowth.This forced them to serve as a source for raw materials and an important market for mass-produced goods. A constantly growing GDP uses too much energy, destroys too much of the environment, creates too much inequality, that it then hurts the lives of the people who contribute to said growth.
