El impactante libro que desaf�a el capitalismo para construir una sociedad m�s justa y terminar con la emergencia clim�tica, a trav�s del pensamiento ecol�gico de Karl Marx. M�s de medio mill�n de lectores en Jap�n. Premio Asian Book Award 2021 al mejor libro del a�o. La civilizaci�n se enfrenta a una grave crisis existencial en la era del Antropoceno, en la que la actividad econ�mica destruye con sa�a la Tierra y condena a la humanidad a la cat�strofe medioambiental. Si no se toman medidas contra el cambio clim�tico, el mundo volver� a un estado de barbarie. No existe un plan B para el planeta Tierra. Para evitar la debacle, es necesario acabar con la obsesi�n capitalista por la b�squeda ilimitada de beneficios. Pero �puede la civilizaci�n prosperar renunciando al capitalismo? Por supuesto. Existen soluciones para sortear la crisis, y las pistas para alcanzarlas llevan ciento cincuenta a�os esperando en el pensamiento del �ltimo Karl Marx. Hay una �nica salida posible: conseguir la abundancia a trav�s del decrecimiento econ�mico. Es la oportunidad para lograr una sociedad m�s justa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "[A] well-reasoned and eye-opening treatise. . . . [K hei Sait makes] a provocative and visionary proposal." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "A cogently structured anti-capitalist approach to the climate crisis." -- Kirkus Reviews, 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, K hei Sait argues that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed for inequality and climate change, subsequent calls for "sustainable growth" and a "Green New Deal" are 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 society--more: the system that caused the problem in the first place cannot be an integral part of the solution. Instead, Sait 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 for: - the end of mass production and mass consumption - decarbonization through shorter working hours - the prioritization of essential labor over corporate profits By 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.
