Post-Growth Living: For an Alternative Hedonism by Kate Soper

challenging informative slow-paced

4.25

Soper's call for an alternative hedonism—where systemic sociopolitical change is driven not only by fear of climate disaster but also desire for a more enjoyable life—is compelling and hard to argue with if you're already a left-leaning eco-worrier. But while she convincingly lays out everything wrong with the current world order, she doesn't necessarily provide a detailed vision for the alternative. Yes, there will be more free time and more biking. But the imagination wants a little more than that to aspire toward.
