Description
Why, in our affluent society, do so many people
live in poverty, without access to health care,
working multiple jobs, and are nevertheless
unable to make ends meet, with no
future prospects, while the planet is burning?In
his international bestseller, Kohei Saito argues
that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed
for inequality and climate change,
subsequent calls for 8220sutainable
growth8221and a 8220Gren New Deal8221are a
dangerous compromise. Capitalism creates
artificial scarcity by pursuing profit based on
the value of products rather than their
usefulness and by putting perpetual growth above
all else. It is therefore impossible to reverse
climate change in a capitalist society in fact,
the system that caused the problem in the first
place cannot be an integral part of the
solution.Instead, Saito advocates for degrowth
and deceleration, which he conceives as the
slowing of economic activity through the
democratic reform of labor and production. In
practical terms, he argues for the followingthe
end of mass production and mass
consumption.decarbonization through shorter
working hours.the prioritization of essential
labor over corporate profits.By returning to a
system of social ownership, he argues, we can
restore abundance and focus on those activities
that are essential for human life, effectively
reversing climate change and saving the planet.
