This was my first book on degrowth and I thought it was well written and mostly well researched. There were references to works from Yuval Harari and Jared Diamond that I have read and know are popular and mostly well regarded but also debunked by historians. That was frustrating and tainted the book for me. But mostly the research and references and stories felt good and right. And that the recommendations point in a worthwhile direction, particularly on how to raise kids.
