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\nFor January, 2023, we are finishing the book.\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.\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
