Jason Hickel on how degrowth will save the world (part one)

Jason Hickel joins PTO to talk about his book, Less is More: How
Degrowth Will Save the World. In part one of the interview we
discussed the comprehensive and all-encompassing character of the
ecological crisis which extends well beyond the issue of CO2
emissions. We also talked about the violent emergence of
capitalism, and how that process entailed the radical
transformation of human subjectivity and how humans relate to the
natural world. Finally, we talked about the emergence of GDP as an
indicator of societal progress and well being.
