Description
Slow Down: How Degrowth Communism Can Save the Earth by Kohei Saito Capitalism's relentless pursuit of growth is at odds with the natural world. In this thought-provoking book, Japanese philosopher Kohei Saito argues that a new form of communism is necessary to ensure a sustainable future. Drawing on a fresh reading of Karl Marx's final writings, Saito presents a compelling case for slowing down our economic systems to avoid catastrophic climate collapse. The endless acceleration of capital has reached a critical point, and there is no alternative to transformation. Saito's work offers a radical new perspective on the relationship between economics and the environment, and challenges readers to rethink the very foundations of our economic systems. By exploring the possibilities of degrowth communism, Saito provides a timely and urgent call to action for a more sustainable future.
