Absolutely superb! Our obsession with traditional GDP growth and consumer consumption is costing us the Earth. I have just ordered a copy of the book! 👍

Brilliant, I have been struggling to put what you explain into words for a few years, you have fluently done it. Thank you so much. Now I can send a link to all those I have bamboozled.

Excellent book (Less is More) just started reading it, the chapter on the rise of capitalism was a real eye-opener to me. Thank you.

This talk and book are very well reasoned and researched. I agree with the findings but fear countries like the UK just wont move fast enough, i am really worried about what my children's lives will look like in the coming years.

Stealing a living by spouting a bunch of assumptions. Typical academic. This guy is dangerous.

He is demanding "un seating" of officials that push for continuous GDP growth. He is a part of many social movements that resist capitalism and its expansion. So, he is not a collaborating academic.
