Degrowth, Baby
Titles that tackle resource overconsumption and propose ways to move forward through economic degrowth
Some are more focused on theory, some on practice, but all explore ways of reducing what we produce and consume, whether it be at the macro or the micro level

A little note on the books I've selected for this list:
-The same thinkers/authors may have written multiple books about degrowth. In these cases, I have only included one book per author, favouring the work that I think is most accessible or up to date -I've tried to choose divulgative books written for the general public over academic-style publications -One of the books listed, Degrowth in Movement(s), is more of a collaborative project than a book per se. You can find the full text + more info here
I encourage everyone to learn at least a little about degrowth as a viable economic alternative to growth-based capitalism. I hope you will enjoy these picks! đ
Recommendations are welcome and you can drop them under this thread đ€
