 -may2/\n\nJoin XR Boston's Book Club as we learn about degrowth\, an idea 
 and a movement that challenges global capitalism and its dependency on eco
 nomic growth. We are reading Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the Worl
 d by Jason Hickel. In our next session\, we will informally discuss Chapte
 r 3: Will Technology Save Us?\, starting on page 124\, via Zoom.\n\nSign u
 p on this page to receive the Zoom link prior to the session.\n\nFrom the 
 author:\n“The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdo
 wn and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause. Capi
 talism demands perpetual expansion\, which is devastating the living world
 . There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate ch
 ange: degrowth.\n\nIf we want to have a shot at halting the crisis\, we ne
 ed to slow down and restore the balance. We need to change how we see natu
 re and our place in it\, shifting from a philosophy of domination and extr
 action to one that’s rooted in reciprocity and regeneration. We need to 
 evolve beyond the dogmas of capitalism to a new system that’s fit for th
 e twenty-first century.\n\nBut what about jobs? What about health? What ab
 out progress? This book tackles these questions and offers an inspiring vi
 sion for what a post-capitalist economy could look like. An economy that
 ’s more just\, more caring\, and more fun. An economy that will not only
  lift us out of our current crisis\, but also restore our sense of connect
 ion to a world that's brimming with life. By taking less\, we can become m
 ore.”
