(starred review)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 society8212moe 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
forthe end of mass production and mass
consumptiondecarbonization through shorter
working hours the prioritization of essential
labor over corporate profitsBy 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.
