DESCRIPTION:\nOur current topic is degrowth. Our book is Exploring Degrowth: A Critical 
 Guide, by Liegey and Nelson, available from its publisher Pluto Press and 
 elsewhere, including Amazon. \n We will be reading the first half of the 
 book this month, constituting the first three chapters, through page 85 of 
 the paper back edition, and the second half of the book for our August 
 meeting.\n\n"A sense of urgency pervades global environmentalism, and the 
 degrowth movement is bursting into the mainstream. As climate catastrophe 
 looms closer, people are eager to learn what degrowth is about, and whether 
 we can save the planet by changing how we live. This book is an 
 introduction to the movement. As politicians and corporations obsess over 
 growth objectives, the degrowth movement demands that we must slow down the 
 economy by transforming our economies, our politics and our cultures to 
 live within the Earth's limits. This book navigates the practice and 
 strategies of the movement, looking at its strengths and weaknesses. 
 Covering horizontal democracy, local economies and the reduction of work, 
 it shows us why degrowth is a compelling and realistic project."\nStrike
