Summary: In SLOW DOWN, award-winning Japanese philosopher Kohei Saito shows us how nothing but a transformation of our economic life can save us from climate collapse. Drawing on a revelatory new reading of Karl Marx's enigmatic final writings, he argues that capitalism by its very nature puts us at odds with the environment and that the future must belong to degrowth communism, a fair and humane existence within the limits of nature. There is no alternative: the endless acceleration of capital has run out of road. We must slow down. https://www.hachetteindia.com/Home/bookdetails/Info/9781399612999/slow-down-how-degrowth-communism-can-save-the-earth
