Re: "Any opinions and ideas about the book "The Case for..."
Governments have to borrow money and accelate growth at whatever cost or else they risk getting overthrown or just not getting reelected in case of democracies. Just look at what happens to various green parties accross the globe the moment they push enacting policies that might hurt the current status quo or lower the GDP growth - people get furious and vote for the far-right. Nobody in power is going to do shit unless the issues of climate change and the destruction of the environment threaten their business as usual and the people feel the consequences. We are so doomed.

Any opinions and ideas about the book "The Case for Degrowth" from Giorgos Kallis, Susan Paulson, Giacomo D'Alisa and Federico Demaria about degrowth here? I'm looking for more books about degrowth, preferably in a compact format. So that I can recommend them to interested friends. There's also a comic about degrowth out there. Thanks in advance
