DESCRIPTION:For December, we are reading the first part, and the beginning of the 
 second part, of Less is More, by Jason Hickel (Amazon, Barnes & 
 Noble).\n\nThe world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown 
 and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause. 
 Capitalism demands perpetual expansion, which is devastating the living 
 world. There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and 
 immediate change: DEGROWTH. If we want to have a shot at halting the 
 crisis, we need to restore the balance. We need to change how we see nature 
 and our place in it, shifting from a philosophy of domination and 
 extraction to one that's rooted in reciprocity and regeneration.\n\nWe need 
 to evolve beyond the dogmas of capitalism to a new system that is fit for 
 the twenty-first century. But what does such a society look like? What 
 about jobs? What about health? What about progress? This book tackles these 
 questions and traces a clear pathway to a post-capitalist economy. An 
 economy that's more just, more caring, and more fun. An economy that 
 enables human flourishing while reversing ecological breakdown. An economy 
 that will not only lift us out of our current crisis, but restore our sense 
 of connection to a world that's brimming with life. By taking less, we can 
 become more.\n\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this non-technical book group 
 discussion monthly on new and radical economic thinking. Previous readings 
 have included Doughnut Economics, Limits, Banking on the 
 People, Capital and Its Discontents, How to Be an Anti-Capitalist in the 
 21st Century, The Deficit Myth,  Revenge Capitalism, the Edge of Chaos 
 blog symposium , Re-enchanting the World: Feminism and the Politics of the 
 Commons, The Optimist’s Telescope, Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to
