Less Sucks

A short, funny polemic against the “Degrowth Movement” and one of its main proponents, Jason Hickel. Peter Coffin comes at it from an orthodox Marxist perspective, showing how it's the same papering-over of the contradictions of Capitalism that Malthus, Galton, Herbert Spencer, and later the Fascists used to explain why there's never enough to go around.

I think he does a fine job of explaining why we can't degrow ourselves out of the problems we're facing, and why Hickel's worldview is a dissonant mess of contradictory notions. As with most self-published works, however, it could have used a bit more editing. That said, it was an enjoyable little book.
