Jason Hickel: Less Is More (2021, Penguin Random House) 5 stars

really good so far, only thing I dislike a bit is the title, because it may sound too naive... (I don't think that the phrasing 'save the world' makes sense, the world can't be 'saved' at this point.. but degrowth is the only viable strategy for the future, at a planetary system scale). the content of the book is not naive at all, it's well-written and builds on decades of works already done in the same direction, most often by people who are not white people in the Western world
