The Divide: Why You Should Work Less – And How It Could Save The Planet
Virtually every government in the world is bent on the same objective: economic growth. But scientists say that endless growth is incompatible with our finite planet. In fact, the only way for us to avoid ecological collapse is for rich nations to scale down their economic activity. But how can we do this without triggering an economic crisis? The solution might depend on you taking more time off. Using research from his book The Divide, Dr Jason Hickel explains how we can overthrow the tyranny of growth by introducing a shorter working week. Aimed at anyone interested in how the global rich get richer while the poor stay poor, The Divide is your primer on why unfairness is baked into the world system – and what we can do to change it.
